About the piece
Painted in 1895 by Paul Émile Chabas, this luminous portrait depicts the artist's wife in full evening attire. The work showcases Chabas's mastery of light and texture, particularly in the shimmering sequins of the gown and the soft, diffused background that evokes a high-society interior.
