About the piece
Painted in 1855 by Amandine Parrot, this portrait captures Athénaïs Mialaret with a gentle, contemplative expression. The artist employs a rich, dark palette that emphasizes the luminosity of the subject's skin and the intricate textures of her lace-trimmed black dress, characteristic of Mid-Victorian French portraiture from the Musée Carnavalet collection.
