"Doleur" (Sorrow) is a notable painting by the French artist Émile Friant, created in 1897. Friant, who was born in 1863 and died in 1932, was a significant figure in the Naturalist movement, which sought to depict subjects with a high degree of realism and often focused on everyday life and social issues. "Doleur" exemplifies Friant's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the emotional depth of his subjects.

The painting portrays a moment of profound grief, with a focus on a central figure that embodies the intense emotion of sorrow. Friant's use of lighting, color, and composition all serve to enhance the dramatic impact of the scene, drawing the viewer into a shared experience of the subject's pain. The artwork's realism is underscored by the artist's skillful rendering of textures and the anatomical accuracy of the figure, which is typical of the Naturalist approach.

"Doleur" is considered one of Friant's masterpieces and reflects his interest in the human condition, a theme that recurs throughout his body of work. The painting is often highlighted for its psychological depth and the way it captures a universal human experience through a single, poignant moment. As with many of Friant's works, "Doleur" also demonstrates the influence of his contemporaries in the Realist and Naturalist movements, such as Gustave Courbet and Jules Bastien-Lepage.

The painting has been exhibited in various galleries and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in discussions of late 19th-century French art and the exploration of emotion in visual art. "Doleur" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Émile Friant and continues to be appreciated for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of human sorrow.
