About the piece
Painted in 1889 by Édouard-Antoine Marsal, this work offers a fascinating glimpse into the 'horror vacui' aesthetic of a 19th-century studio. Surrounded by a tiger skin rug, medieval armor, and fine ceramics, a fashionably dressed woman stands for her portrait while the artist works diligently at his easel in an environment thick with history and artifacts.
