About the piece

Created in 1914 by Hungarian artist József Rippl-Rónai, this oil painting is a masterful study of light and shadow. The piece contrasts the heavy, dark silhouette of the sitter against the vibrant, textured warmth of the sunlight streaming through the window, offering a contemplative and timeless addition to any space.
