About the piece

Painted in 1817 by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, this portrait of Philippine Böhmer is a masterclass in the Biedermeier style. The artist meticulously captures the tactile quality of the woven straw hat and the shimmering blue ribbons, set against a softly lit background that emphasizes the sitter's gentle expression.
