About the piece

Painted in 1879 by Emmanuel de Dieudonné, this striking work titled 'Fatma' exemplifies the rich textures and dramatic chiaroscuro of 19th-century academic painting. The subject is depicted with a confident gaze, draped in luminous pink and gold silks that contrast beautifully with the cold metal of the helmet she carries.
