About the piece

Painted in 1854 by Jozef Van Lerius, this portrait of Madame LeDelier exemplifies the dignified realism of mid-19th-century European art. The work is particularly notable for its delicate handling of light on the sitter's face and the meticulous detail of her lace bonnet and collar, which contrast beautifully against the deep, moody background.
