About the piece

Painted in 1883 by Juho Forsell, this evocative work captures the hushed, scholarly atmosphere of the Louvre's sculpture galleries. The luminous white marble of the Venus de Milo stands as a brilliant central focus against the deep red drapery of the alcove, while elegantly dressed 19th-century patrons add a sense of narrative and historical scale to the scene.
