The Facts

The Musée d'Orsay in Paris holds Aristide Maillol's painting "La Femme à l'ombrelle," created circa 1892. The museum acquired the work in 1955, as noted in its collection records. The artwork is part of the museum's permanent holdings.

The Signal

The mention of this piece comes in the context of the museum's accessibility statement, which discusses the site's compliance. While no new exhibition or acquisition is announced, the reference highlights a notable early work by Maillol, best known for his later sculptures. For collectors, the 1955 acquisition date places the painting within the museum's post-war expansion of its 19th-century collection.
