Portrait of Jeanne Samary

Portrait of Jeanne Samary is an oil on canvas painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, depicting the actress Jeanne Samary, from 1878. It is held in the Hermitage Museum, in Saint Petersburg.[1] It was exhibited at the 1879 Paris Salon and intended to make good on the critical failure of his previous portrait of her, but it made little impression on the critics.[2] It was seized by the Soviet state after the October Revolution as part of the seizure of Ivan Morozov's art collection.
