Le Suicidé is a small oil painting by Édouard Manet completed between 1877 and 1881.

[1] The pictorial content of the painting is limited to a man who appears to have just shot himself—still holding the gun while slouched on a bed—and a few pieces of furniture.

Manet has removed the trappings of earlier depictions of suicide, and provided next to no narrative content or "moralizing tendency".

The realism of Le Suicidé has fueled speculation that it depicts an actual suicide, but the subject, if any, is not known.

[1] Manet's approach to this depiction may represent his continuing desire to break from academic tradition, in which a depiction of suicide could only fit within the genre of history painting—where death and suicide would be placed within a narrative associated with sacrifice, idealism, or heroism.
