About the piece

Painted by Nicaise de Keyser in 1853, this portrait of Madame Mols-de Brialmont epitomizes mid-19th-century European elegance. The sitter is depicted in a sumptuous black gown accented with red blossoms, her poise complemented by the soft, luminous treatment of her skin and the intricate detail of her lace handkerchief and fan.
