"The Fur Cloak (Helene Fourment)" is a celebrated oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created between 1636 and 1639. This portrait features Helene Fourment, Rubens' second wife, who was often the subject of his works and considered one of his primary muses. In the painting, Helene is depicted wearing a luxurious fur cloak, which has been identified as sable, a material that signifies both opulence and comfort. The cloak, along with her elegant pose and the intimate atmosphere of the portrait, exemplifies Rubens' mastery in portraying the textures of fabrics and the sensuality of the human form.

The painting is notable for its warm color palette and the skillful rendering of light, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and the richness of the fur. Rubens' use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark—adds a dramatic effect to the composition, highlighting Helene's youthful features and the softness of her skin.

"The Fur Cloak (Helene Fourment)" is not only a testament to Rubens' affection for his wife but also an example of his ability to infuse portraits with psychological depth and realism. The work is often discussed in the context of Rubens' personal life and the influence of his marriage on his artistic output during the latter part of his career.

As a significant piece from the Baroque period, the painting is frequently studied for its stylistic elements and its place within Rubens' oeuvre. It remains an important work for understanding the evolution of portraiture in the 17th century and the ways in which artists like Rubens conveyed status, wealth, and personal relationships through their art. The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence continues to be felt in the appreciation of Baroque art and the legacy of Peter Paul Rubens.
