{"product_id":"madame-lerolle-henri-fantin-latour","title":"Madame Lerolle - Henri Fantin-Latour","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined 1882 portrait by Henri Fantin-Latour, depicting Madame Lerolle alongside a delicate arrangement of cut flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenri Fantin-Latour painted this portrait of Madame Lerolle in 1882. The subject, Madeleine Lerolle, stands in a three-quarter view, positioned beside a wooden table that holds a glass vase of cut flowers. Her white dress, rendered with soft brushwork, contrasts against the muted, atmospheric background typical of the artist's studio portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFantin-Latour is widely recognised for his ability to balance portraiture with still-life elements. In this composition, the flowers on the table serve as a secondary focus, echoing the delicate nature of the sitter. The artist employs a restrained palette, favouring subtle transitions of tone over high-contrast lighting. This approach creates a sense of quietude and introspection. The sitter's gaze is direct, yet her posture remains relaxed, suggesting a comfortable rapport between the artist and his subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting demonstrates the technical precision Fantin-Latour applied to fabric textures and floral arrangements. The lace details of the dress and the individual petals of the roses are handled with careful observation. By integrating the floral motif into the portrait, the artist avoids the rigidity often associated with formal commissions of the period. The work remains a characteristic example of his late nineteenth-century output, where he moved between the demands of society portraiture and his own interest in the quiet observation of domestic life. The muted grey-green backdrop ensures that the figure remains the primary subject, while the scattered blossoms on the table provide a tactile quality to the foreground. This print captures the soft, painterly quality of the original oil on canvas, preserving the subtle tonal shifts and the calm atmosphere of the 1882 composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-funeral-edouard-manet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Funeral - Edouard Manet — Edouard Manet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/marine-parade-and-old-chain-pier-brighton-john-constable\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMarine Parade and Old Chain Pier, Brighton - John Constable — John Constable\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henri Fantin-Latour","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58344860287311,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58344862941519,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58344862974287,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58344863007055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58344863039823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58344863072591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58344863105359,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58344863138127,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58344863170895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58344863203663,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58344863236431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58344863269199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Madame-Lerolle_Poster_CompositorV1_1785384219628.jpg?v=1785385212","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/madame-lerolle-henri-fantin-latour","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
