About the piece

Created in 1898, this work by Ramon Casas captures a quiet moment of domestic interiority. The subject's direct gaze and the soft, impressionistic handling of the white fabrics create a sense of modern intimacy and calm elegance, characteristic of Spanish modernism at the turn of the century.
