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 unknown; she may be Laure, the black woman holding a bunch of flowers in the same artist's Olympia.[1] The work is still linked with the "black beauties of Baudelaire"[2] in reference to his mistress Jeanne Duval, although Duval was mixed-race rather than black.[3] Baudelaire and Manet became close friends, during which time he produced a portrait of Duval in 1862, entitled Baudelaire's Mistress. The poet was often in the painter's studio.[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.[5] The work passed through Berlin and Honolulu between 1933 and 1959, before entering its present home. It appeared in volume 1 of the 1975 Rouart-Wilderstein catalogue under the reference number RW 68.[6]
