About the piece

Painted by Henry William Pickersgill in 1829, this luminous work captures the idealized beauty of a young woman in traditional Greek costume. Seated gracefully with a lute and flowers, her teal gown and ornate headwear are rendered with meticulous detail, reflecting the era's fascination with Philhellenism and Romantic portraiture.
