1890, Paul Cezanne, Madame Cezanne in a Red Dress (Fondation Beyeler, Basel) -- National Gallery of Art (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: The four related works of Cézanne’s wife in a red dress appear to have been painted in pairs: this painting and one nearby show Hortense seated with hands clasped and facing to the right; in the other two from the series, she faces forward and holds flowers. The contours of her figure in each pair are so closely related that it is quite possible he did not paint all four canvases in the presence of his wife. Instead he may have based one portrait from each pair on the other.
