La Nymphe surprise, or Surprised Nymph, is a painting by the French painter Édouard Manet, created in 1861. The model was Suzanne Leenhoff, a pianist whom he married two years later. The painting is a key work of Manet's, marking the beginning of a new period in his artistic career and generally in the history of modernism in French painting.
Leon was a recurrent model for Manet who portrayed him in several pictures, such as The Lunch, The Boy Carrying a Sword and The Bubbles of Soap. In this work the white woman's dress dominates, and the sofa and curtains are treated with broad strokes of high brightness, in counterpoint to the dark tone of the belt and collar. [3]
