About the piece

Painted in 1830 by Carl Vilhelm Nordgren, this portrait captures Aurora Vilhelmina Koskull in the height of Biedermeier-era fashion. The composition is defined by her massive red and gold turban adorned with towering white plumes, set against a dark, atmospheric background that emphasizes the luminous textures of her pearls and lace.
