"Jeune Femme Devant Une Icone" (English: Young Woman Before an Icon) is a 19th-century painting by the French artist Léon Lucien Goupil. The work is a fine example of Goupil's portraiture, in which he often depicted figures in contemplative or intimate settings. The painting showcases a young woman posed in front of an icon, suggesting a moment of private devotion or reflection. The subject's gaze, directed either towards the icon or inward in thought, along with the use of light and shadow, highlights Goupil's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the interplay of spiritual and secular themes.

Léon Lucien Goupil (1843–1896) was a Parisian painter known for his genre scenes, portraits, and historical subjects. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts under the tutelage of renowned artists like Léon Cogniet and Alexandre Cabanel, Goupil developed a style that blended academic tradition with a sensitivity to the modern trends of his time. Although "Jeune Femme Devant Une Icone" is not as widely recognized as some of his other works, it is representative of his artistic oeuvre and his ability to convey depth of character and mood.

The painting's composition, with its careful attention to detail and color, reflects the influence of the academic art movement, while also hinting at the emerging symbolist sensibilities that would come to the fore in the late 19th century. The icon in the painting, a religious artifact, adds a layer of iconographic significance, inviting interpretations that consider the role of faith and iconography in the private sphere.

"Jeune Femme Devant Une Icone" remains an important work for scholars interested in the intersections of French academic art, religious symbolism, and the portrayal of women in the visual culture of the period. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the broader narrative of European art history, encapsulating the nuanced transition from traditional academic standards to a more personal and introspective artistic language that characterized the fin de siècle.
