About the piece
Painted in 1845 by Elisabeth Baumann, this striking portrait captures a Roman woman with a dignified and contemplative expression. The artist's skill is evident in the delicate rendering of the white lace shawl and the soft, luminous treatment of the skin, set against a painterly, atmospheric background with a warm palette.
