About the piece

Created in 1838 by the noted French painter Théodore Frère, this evocative work captures the romance of the Orientalist movement. The painting features a woman in an ornate red gown and lace-trimmed sleeves standing before a brilliant white archway, set against a backdrop of deep blue sky, palms, and architectural elements of North Africa or the Levant.
