Paul César Helleu (1859–1927) was a prominent French painter, best known for his elegant portraits of society women during the Belle Époque period. His works are characterized by their refined and graceful style, capturing the essence of the fashionable elite of his time. Helleu's portraits often feature his subjects in intimate and relaxed poses, exuding a sense of sophistication and charm. His mastery of line and form, combined with his ability to convey the delicate textures of fabrics and the subtle nuances of expression, made him a sought-after portraitist among the aristocracy and high society.

Helleu's artistic journey began at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme. He initially struggled to gain recognition, but his fortunes changed when he befriended influential artists such as John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler. These connections helped him to establish himself within the art world and gain commissions from wealthy patrons. Helleu's technique involved the use of drypoint etching, a method that allowed him to create intricate and detailed lines, giving his portraits a distinctive and ethereal quality.

Throughout his career, Helleu produced numerous portraits of notable figures, including members of the British royal family, American socialites, and French aristocrats. His work was celebrated for its ability to capture the personality and elegance of his subjects, often highlighting their beauty and grace. Helleu's portraits not only serve as a testament to his artistic skill but also provide a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Belle Époque era. Today, his works are held in high regard and can be found in prestigious collections and museums around the world.
