About the piece

Painted in 1878 by Anselm Feuerbach, this portrait of his step-mother, Henriette, captures a sense of quiet dignity and intellectual presence. The striking contrast between her pale, thoughtful features and the intricate black lace of her attire against a warm, dark background creates a sophisticated and timeless aesthetic typical of Feuerbach's refined style.
