About the piece
Painted around 1900 by Giovanni Boldini, this portrait depicts Madame Torri, a dancer at the Paris Opéra. Boldini's signature energetic brushwork is evident in the swirling textures of the striped dress and the soft, voluminous fan, capturing the sophisticated and kinetic spirit of early 20th-century Parisian high society.
