"Madame Coquelin Mère" is an oil painting by French artist Émile Friant, completed in 1887. The painting is a portrait of the mother of the famous French actor Benoît-Constant Coquelin, known as Coquelin Aîné. Friant, who was known for his realistic and detailed style, captures Madame Coquelin with a striking sense of individuality and character.

The portrait is a testament to Friant's skill in rendering the textures and subtleties of skin tone and fabric. Madame Coquelin is depicted in a domestic interior, seated, and dressed in a black gown with a white lace collar, which contrasts with her dignified expression and the warm, subdued lighting of the scene. Her hands are gently folded in her lap, and her gaze seems introspective, suggesting a moment of quiet reflection.

Émile Friant (1863–1932) was a key figure in the Naturalist movement, and his works often focused on the social realities and character studies of individuals, as seen in "Madame Coquelin Mère." This painting not only showcases Friant's technical prowess but also offers a glimpse into the private world of the sitter, inviting viewers to ponder the life and thoughts of this matriarchal figure.

The painting is part of a collection at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy in France. It stands as a significant example of Friant's portraiture and contributes to the broader understanding of Naturalist art in the late 19th century. Through works like "Madame Coquelin Mère," Friant's legacy continues to be appreciated for its profound humanism and meticulous attention to the nuances of everyday life.
