About the piece
This 1843 oil portrait by Ary Scheffer captures Pauline de Rémusat with a luminous, porcelain-like complexion and meticulously rendered blonde curls. The striking contrast between her white, puffed-sleeve dress and the deep, atmospheric background creates a timeless and sophisticated presence characteristic of the Romantic period.
