About the piece
Painted in 1908 by Otto Friedrich, this portrait of Elsa Galafrés captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of a bold, saturated blue backdrop beautifully contrasts with the intricate white lace of the subject's attire and her delicate features, while a small lapdog adds a touch of domestic intimacy.
