"Melancholy" (French: "Mélancolie") is an oil painting created in 1801 by the French artist Constance Marie Charpentier (1767–1849). The painting is a quintessential example of the sentimental and emotive style characteristic of the Neoclassical period, reflecting the era's fascination with themes of introspection and emotional depth. It depicts a young woman in a state of contemplative sadness, seated in a dimly lit interior that enhances the painting's somber mood.

Charpentier's work is notable for its masterful use of light and shadow, which serve to accentuate the subject's pensive expression and the overall atmosphere of melancholy. The subdued color palette and the attention to textural detail, such as the rendering of fabrics and the woman's flowing hair, contribute to the painting's evocative quality.

At the time of its creation, "Melancholy" resonated with contemporary artistic and literary movements that valorized the expression of human emotion and the exploration of the psyche. The painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1801, where it received critical acclaim for its poignant portrayal of the subject and its technical proficiency.

Today, "Melancholy" is recognized as one of Charpentier's most significant works and is often cited as an important contribution to the canon of French Neoclassical painting. It is housed in the Musée de Picardie in Amiens, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its emotional depth and aesthetic achievements.
