About the piece

Dating to approximately 1800, this portrait captures the refined fashion of Central European nobility. The artist demonstrates sophisticated technique in rendering the translucent ruffles of the silk collar and the soft sheen of the white gown, punctuated by the classical elegance of a multi-strand pearl necklace.
