Édouard Manet painted this full-length portrait of a woman emerging from a cafe doorway around 1862. She holds a guitar and lifts cherries to her mouth in a casual, unposed moment. The life-size scale and direct gaze challenged academic conventions of the period.
Manet often depicted modern Parisian life with unflinching realism. The bold brushwork and neutral background focus attention on the figure herself rather than narrative context. This painting hangs at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
