The balcony (French: Le balcon) is the title of a painting by Édouard Manet, which the painter himself considered one of his most valuable. The work dates from 1868-69 and shows three people on a balcony: the painters Berthe Morisot and Antoine Guillemet and the violinist Fanny Claus. The painting Majas on a balcony by Spanish master Goya probably served partly as a source of inspiration. The work was first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1869. Today, it is part of the Musée d'Orsay's collection.
