About the piece
This 1879 portrait by French artist Henri Gervex depicts a woman, likely the celebrated actress Réjane, in a moment of refined elegance. Captured during the Belle Époque, the painting utilizes fluid brushwork and a delicate palette of pinks, golds, and blues to create a romantic and sophisticated presence.
