"Portrait de Jo, la belle Irlandaise" is an oil painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, completed in 1865-1866. The subject of the portrait, Joanna Hiffernan, also known as Jo, was an Irish model and mistress to the artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, with whom Courbet had a close friendship. The painting is one of several works by Courbet in which Hiffernan served as a model, and it is celebrated for its luminous depiction of her beauty and its subtle interplay of colors.

Measuring 55 x 38 cm, the portrait is a half-length depiction of Hiffernan, who is shown with her striking red hair cascading over her shoulders, a feature that is emphasized by Courbet's use of warm, vibrant tones. Her gaze is serene yet engaging, directed toward the viewer, and her skin is rendered with a softness that contrasts with the detailed texture of her hair. The background is muted, allowing the figure to dominate the composition.

The work is notable for its intimate and sensual portrayal of the sitter, which reflects the bohemian lifestyle and the aesthetic preoccupations of the Parisian avant-garde during the mid-19th century. "Portrait de Jo, la belle Irlandaise" is also significant for its technical mastery and for the insight it provides into Courbet's relationships with his contemporaries in the art world.

The painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and as an exemplar of Courbet's portraiture. As with many of Courbet's works, "Portrait de Jo, la belle Irlandaise" reflects the artist's commitment to Realism, a movement that he was instrumental in developing, and his belief in painting the truth of his own experiences and observations.
