Not on view

This freely painted canvas, most likely unfinished, depicts Manet’s wife, Suzanne, in their apartment on the rue de Saint-Pétersbourg. It was one of two of the artist’s portraits of his wife that Degas had in his collection. He obtained the painting in 1895 from the dealer Ambroise Vollard in exchange for a pastel.


*This work was in Degas’s collection.
