About the piece
Painted around 1885, this evocative work by Alfred Stevens depicts a woman on a balcony overlooking a moonlit seascape. The rich textures of her shawl and the shimmering light on the water showcase Stevens' mastery of light and shadow, creating a deeply contemplative and atmospheric mood typical of late 19th-century European painting.
