About the piece
Created in 1873 by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, this oil painting captures Madame Carpeaux in a private, contemplative moment. The work is defined by its rapid, energetic brushwork and a dramatic chiaroscuro effect that emerges from the dark, indeterminate background, lending it a modern and evocative feel.
