Jeanne (Spring) by Édouard Manet

A young woman in a flowered summer dress and a bonnet, holding a parasol, in front of a wall of leaves. The model was the actress Jeanne Demarsy.

Manet painted it in 1881 as the first in a planned series of the seasons. It was a hit at the Salon of 1882. He died the next year.
