Label Text:Seen in Manet’s work in pastel, oil, and ink, his wife Suzanne Leenhoff (1829–1906) was a source of inspiration throughout the artist’s career. Like many of the portraits that were created of Suzanne, this profile image in pastel was meant purely for private consumption, functioning as both a site of experimentation for Manet and also as a site of intimate exchange between himself and his wife.
