About the piece
Painted in 1852 by Francis Bicknell Carpenter, this formal portrait depicts the famous Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind. The work showcases masterful technique in the rendering of her velvet cloak, ermine trim, and delicate lace-up bodice, creating a sophisticated and timeless presence that reflects the sitter's mid-century prominence.
