Madame Manet in the Conservatory
Madame Manet in the Conservatory[1] is an 1879 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet of his wife Suzanne. It is held in the National Gallery, in Oslo.
It shows its subject in a conservatory, where she often came to help Manet out with sittings for his In the Conservatory.[2] She reluctantly parted from the work in August 1895 due to a pressing need for money. It was bought from her for 6000 francs by Maurice Joyant, art collector and childhood friend of Toulouse-Lautrec.[3] In July 1911, Joyant sold it is to Georges Bernheim. The Friends of the National Gallery of Norway acquired it in 1918.
It is believed that before selling the original portrait in 1895, Suzanne commissioned her nephew, Edouard Vibert, to create a copy of Madame Manet in the Conservatory. It is unknown precisely when this copy was made, however it remained in Suzanne's possession until her death in 1906. It later circulated in Germany for a long period as an original Manet work before ultimately being designated as a copy.[4][5]
