About the piece

Painted in 1897 by the renowned Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt, this portrait of Mrs. John Gallatly is a masterclass in the rendering of light and texture. The subject's ivory evening gown and long gloves are depicted with a luminous sheen that contrasts beautifully with the deep, painterly green background, embodying the refined elegance of the period.
