About the piece

Created in 1885, this delicate pastel by Finnish master Albert Edelfelt captures a Parisian model in a moment of quiet repose. The work is distinguished by its warm terracotta background and the subtle halo of light that illuminates the subject's hair, showcasing the artist's sensitive handling of the medium during his years in France.
