Paul Cézanne: Portrait of a Woman (Portrait de femme), Paul Cézanne, c. 1898, Oil on canvas, Cézanne painted many portraits of working-class people in Provence, his native region in the south of France. Here he depicts a solemn older woman clutching a book, rendering her with a monumentality and dignity that conveys his respect for rural Provençal types. Cézanne sets off the remarkably vivid red-striped dress with patches of green and blue on the wall. Also, notice how he rhymes the roundness and solidity of her form with that of the cauldron on the floor behind her, suggesting a parallel between the functional object and the steadfast presence of this plain woman., Overall: 36 3/4 x 28 7/8 in. (93.3 x 73.3 cm).
