About the piece
Created in 1893, this portrait of Madame de R. by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler showcases his transition toward Symbolism. The artist employs a delicate palette of pale yellows and soft greys, focusing intently on the subject's psychological presence and the structural elegance of her features. The visible brushwork and luminous skin tones give the piece a sophisticated gallery presence.
