The Facts
The Musée d'Orsay has made available an 1861 portrait by the artist Maze in its online collection. The work, titled "Portrait d'une femme âgée tenant un livre à la main," originates from the Galerie Guillet collection of artist portraits dating between 1843 and 1885. The record includes a downloadable XLSX data file, and the portrait is associated with French painter E. Berat, active around 1870.
The Signal
The addition reflects the Musée d'Orsay's ongoing digitization efforts, providing researchers and collectors with access to historical portraits from the Galerie Guillet archive. By making such provenance data freely available, the museum reinforces its commitment to open access and scholarly transparency, a growing trend among major institutions.
