La Négresse (Manet)

La Négresse is an 1862 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet, now in the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli in Turin.

The name of the model for the work is Laure, the black woman holding a bunch of flowers in the same artist's Olympia.

[4] La Négresse is mentioned in Manet's posthumous inventory in 1883 under number 46 and was owned by Éva Gonzalès-Guérard, then Auguste Pellerin, then Alexandre Louis Philippe Berthier, prince of Wagram.

In 1913 it belonged to Baron Herzog in Budapest, from whom it was looted by Nazi troops.

It appeared in volume 1 of the 1975 Rouart-Wilderstein catalogue under the reference number RW 68.
