"The Cigarette" is a painting by Belgian symbolist artist Fernand Khnopff, created in 1887. This work is a testament to Khnopff's fascination with the enigmatic and the exploration of the human psyche, themes that are prevalent throughout his oeuvre. The painting features a young woman in a moment of quiet introspection, holding a cigarette. Her gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting a sense of detachment and inner contemplation.

Khnopff's art is often characterized by a dreamlike atmosphere, and "The Cigarette" is no exception. The soft, muted tones and the precise, almost photographic rendering of the subject contribute to the painting's ethereal quality. The use of light and shadow plays a crucial role in the composition, highlighting the delicate features of the woman's face and the wisps of smoke from the cigarette, which add a dynamic element to the otherwise still and silent scene.

As a leading figure of the Symbolist movement, Khnopff was interested in the idea of the femme fatale, and "The Cigarette" can be interpreted as an exploration of this concept. The woman's aloofness and the act of smoking, which at the time was considered a transgressive behavior for women, hint at an underlying tension between societal norms and personal freedom.

"The Cigarette" is emblematic of Khnopff's work during the late 19th century, a period marked by a fascination with the mystical and the subconscious. The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its ability to evoke a mood of introspection and mystery. It remains an important piece within the context of Symbolist art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its contribution to the movement's themes and motifs.
