About the piece

Attributed to the circle of Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson, this 1824 painting captures the celestial elegance of Aurora. The goddess of the dawn is rendered with masterful porcelain skin and flowing white silk, creating a striking contrast against the moody, atmospheric background as she heralds the coming light.
