About the piece
Painted in 1828 by the Belgian Romantic artist Gustaf Wappers, this portrait depicts Jeanne Bertrand in a moment of quiet reflection. The work showcases Wappers' skill in rendering textures, from the softness of the fur wrap to the luminous quality of the subject's skin against a rich, earthy background.
