About the piece

Painted in 1827 by Jan Adam Kruseman, this work captures a young woman in a moment of quiet repose. She is adorned with the fashion of the era, including a delicate white shawl, vibrant coral beads, and an intricate hairstyle known as an Apollo’s knot. The artist's smooth, academic style highlights the textures of fabric and jewelry against a serene sky and distant hills.
