About the piece
Painted in 1896 by Joseph Paul Mesle, this portrait of Mademoiselle Marie P. is a masterful study of light and texture. The voluminous white sleeves of the sitter's blouse are rendered with luminous detail, providing a dramatic counterpoint to the deep, grounded tones of the surroundings, making it a sophisticated addition to a traditional study or living space.
