1874, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot in Mourning -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)

From the museum label: Manet's painting of Berthe Morisot mourning the death of her father is the final portrait of her that he made, after capturing her in print and on several large canvases. He painted it the same year she married his brother, complicating further a complex artistic and personal relationship. Degas acquired this haunting work, his last Manet, in 1897, two years after Morisot died.
