"Portrait of My Sister Madeleine" is an 1888 painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Émile Bernard. The work is a notable example of Bernard's early style, which was significantly influenced by the cloisonnism technique, characterized by bold outlines and flat areas of color. This painting is particularly important as it captures the intimate and personal subject matter of the artist's own family, specifically his sister Madeleine.

The portrait is rendered with a sensitivity to the sitter's character, which is typical of Bernard's approach to portraiture. Madeleine is depicted in a domestic interior, a setting that suggests the comfort and familiarity of home life. The composition is straightforward, with Madeleine positioned in the center of the canvas, her gaze directed outward, engaging the viewer. The use of color and line in the painting reflects Bernard's exploration of symbolism and his move away from the naturalism of Impressionism towards a more stylized, expressive aesthetic.

Bernard's "Portrait of My Sister Madeleine" is not only a personal representation of his sibling but also an example of the evolving artistic trends of the late 19th century. The painting stands as a testament to the artist's contribution to the development of modern art and his role in the Pont-Aven School, where he, along with Paul Gauguin and others, sought to transcend the naturalistic constraints of the prevailing art movements of the time.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited in various art shows that highlight the Post-Impressionist period and the significant contributions of Émile Bernard to the art world. As a work that predates Bernard's later, more mature style, "Portrait of My Sister Madeleine" offers insight into the artist's formative years and the personal connections that shaped his artistic journey.
