Portrait of Madame Josette Gris Raphael as evidenced by the successIn Portrait de Madame Josette Gris, Josette sits in a chair in front of a wall section, the lower part of which is wood paneled. The shadow she casts is used to give the sensation of depth while her hands lie draped on her knees. Conceptually and formally, this portrait could easily be the result of a cross between the combined influences of Corot and Czanne.
