About the piece
This early 19th-century portrait by an unknown Slovak artist captures Countess Antónia Apponyiová in a moment of quiet grace. Executed with the soft, blended texture characteristic of pastel or chalk, the work highlights the delicate ruffles of her white gown and the vibrant contrast provided by her orange headpiece and blue silk ribbons.
