About the piece

This elegant 1876 oil portrait by Pieter Van Havermaet captures young Amélie Baschwitz with a gentle, serious expression. Dressed in a rich dark velvet gown with delicate lace trim, she stands against a classically paneled wall, holding a folded letter that adds a narrative touch to the composition.
