Cézanne painted at least 29 portraits of his wife, Marie-Hortense Fiquet. Here she appears in a green upholstered chair with her forearm resting on the chair’s elongated arm. Although she is fashionably dressed, Marie-Hortense leans at a seemingly uncomfortable angle and presents a stern expression to the viewer. The thrust-out lower lip and blank stare contrast with her whimsical hat; its transparent brim reveals her forehead underneath.
