EDOUARD MANET. Young Lady in 1866

EDOUARD MANET. Young Lady in 1866. Artist: Édouard Manet (French, Paris 1832-1883 Paris). Dimensions: 72 7/8 x 50 5/8 in. (185.1 x 128.6 cm). Date: 1866. Manet's model, Victorine Meurent, had recently posed as the brazen nudes in <i>Olympia</i> and <i>Luncheon on the Grass</i> (both Musée d'Orsay, Paris). Here, appearing relatively demure, she flaunts an intimate silk dressing gown. Critics eyed the painting as a rejoinder to Courbet's <i>Woman with a Parrot</i> (29.100.57) and as indicative of Manet's "current vice" of failing to "value a head more than a slipper." Recent scholars have interpreted it as an allegory of the five senses: the nosegay (smell), the orange (taste), the parrot-confidant (hearing), and the man's monocle she fingers (sight and touch).
