Woman on a Black Divan (French: La femme au divan noir), also known simply as Recumbent Woman (Femme couchée) is a 1869 painting by the French artist Jean-Jacques Henner. It is one of the 44 Henner paintings of the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Mulhouse. Its inventory number is D.58.1.22.[1][2]

The painting was shown at the Paris Salon of 1869, and bought for the collection of the Société industrielle de Mulhouse (from which the Musée des Beaux-Arts originated) by the widow of Daniel Dollfus the same year. A much smaller version of the painting is kept in the Musée national Jean-Jacques Henner, in Paris, since 1923.[1][3]
