EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite oil painting "Madeleine Lerolle and Her Daughter Yvonne" by Paul Albert Besnard. Created between 1879 and 1880, this masterpiece is displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Besnard skillfully captures the intimate bond between Madeleine Lerolle and her daughter Yvonne in this double portrait. The artist's close friendship with Henri Lerolle, Madeleine's husband and a fellow artist, inspired him to depict their beloved family members.

Madeleine dons a stunning black dress while seated gracefully beside her young daughter. The full-length composition allows us to appreciate every detail of their attire as well as their serene expressions.
