Jeanne (Spring)
1882
Meet Jeanne, the face of spring in this charming 1882 etching by Édouard Manet! Based on his famous painting 'Le Printemps,' this piece captures the young actress Jeanne Demarsy in profile, sporting a fabulous flower-adorned hat and holding a parasol as she gazes at a bloom. Manet was a rebel who helped kickstart Impressionism, and here his scratchy, energetic lines bring a breezy, fashionable Parisian vibe to life. It’s like a snapshot of a perfect spring day, frozen in ink!
