About the piece

Painted in 1795, this portrait by Swiss master Anton Graff captures Elise Kaufmann with a soft, ethereal veil draped over her head. The striking contrast between the glowing complexion of the sitter and the deep, atmospheric background creates a timeless and contemplative presence characteristic of late 18th-century European portraiture.
