About the piece
Painted by the French Realist master Gustave Courbet around 1860, this work depicts a woman in a moment of private reflection. The rich, earthy tones of the woodland background contrast with the luminous white of her chemise, showcasing Courbet’s signature tactile brushwork and commitment to naturalistic detail.
