The model for this portrait has not been precisely identified but she was probably one of the employees at the Jas de Bouffan, the C¨¦zannes' family home near Aix en Provence. C¨¦zanne used few professional models, preferring to work with members of his family or people he knew well, probably because he felt shy and painted very slowly. Despite this proximity, Woman with a Coffeepot is a study of forms rather than character.
