Wife? edit

Can we say more precisely that she wasn't yet his wife when he painted this. Something for DYK perhaps? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:28, 27 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Clarify: the lead says it's a portrait of his wife, but she wasn't at the time. I think to say in the lead - as later - that they were lovers (for eight years) but married only two years after this painting would not only create more interest but also be more correct ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:02, 27 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

La Nymphe surprise is an 1861 oil-on-canvas painting by the French Impressionist painter Édouard Manet. The painting depicts a young woman (described as a nymph) sitting in a wooded landscape beside a lake, looking surprised at the viewer. A blue iris grows at her feet, and she is nude except for pearls around her neck and a ring on her little finger. The model for the painting was Suzanne Leenhoff, a Dutch pianist with whom Manet had an affair; they later married in 1863. The work is in the collection of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Painting credit: Édouard Manet
