His creations captured the essence of beauty, both in its raw form and through intricate details. In "Nude Girl Combing Her Hair, " painted in 1887, Besnard skillfully depicted the vulnerability and sensuality of a woman lost in her own world. Another masterpiece by Besnard is "Woman's Head" from around 1890, where he showcased his mastery over capturing human expressions with precision.

Besnard's collaboration with Anders Leonard Zorn resulted in "Albert Besnard and His Model" (1896), showcasing their shared passion for artistry.

In "Portrait of a Man (Souvenir d'un Passage à Paris)" from 1898, Besnard demonstrated his ability to capture individuality through portraiture. The subject's enigmatic expression invites viewers to unravel the mysteries hidden within his soul. One cannot overlook "Model Asleep on the Floor" (1885), which showcases an unconventional yet mesmerizing composition. Through this piece, Besnard challenged traditional norms by presenting beauty even in unexpected places. "The Feathered Turban" (1901) exemplifies Besnard's fascination with ornate accessories while emphasizing elegance and gracefulness. This artwork transports viewers into a world filled with opulence and refinement. Besnard also explored theatrical themes such as in "Carmen" (1885). With vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes, he brought to life one of opera's most iconic characters on canvas. "The Cup of Tea" (1883) reveals another facet of Besnard's talent - still life paintings infused with warmth and tranquility.
