Jeanne Duval, as a subject, does not directly refer to a specific work by Charles Pierre Baudelaire but rather to a significant figure in his life and poetry. Jeanne Duval was a muse and a long-term partner of the French poet Charles Baudelaire, and her influence permeates his work, most notably in his seminal poetry collection "Les Fleurs du mal" (The Flowers of Evil). Born in Haiti, Duval moved to Paris, where she met Baudelaire in the mid-19th century. Their tumultuous and passionate relationship lasted for many years, despite facing societal disapproval and personal hardships.

Jeanne Duval is often considered Baudelaire's "Black Venus," a term he used to describe her exotic beauty and enigmatic allure in his poems. Her presence in Baudelaire's life and work has been a subject of much scholarly interest, as she is thought to have inspired many of his poems that explore themes of love, desire, beauty, and decadence. While not a "work" by Baudelaire in the traditional sense, Duval's influence on his poetic output is undeniable, making her an essential figure in understanding the poet's artistic legacy.

Baudelaire's portrayal of Jeanne Duval in his poetry is complex, reflecting the multifaceted nature of their relationship. She is depicted with a mix of adoration and anguish, embodying both the idealized muse and the source of profound emotional turmoil. This duality is evident in poems such as "Le Balcon" (The Balcony), "Parfum Exotique" (Exotic Perfume), and "La Chevelure" (The Head of Hair), where Duval is immortalized through vivid imagery and emotional depth.

The relationship between Jeanne Duval and Charles Baudelaire, and her influence on his work, continues to be a topic of interest for literary scholars and enthusiasts of French literature. Her significance in Baudelaire's life underscores the complex interplay between the poet's personal experiences and his artistic expressions, making her an integral part of the study of his poetry and its enduring impact on the literary world.
