About the piece

Painted in 1795 by Adèle Varillat, this striking Neo-classical portrait depicts a female artist seated before her work. The composition is defined by the luminous white of her dress, accented by a bold scarlet sash, and her serene, direct gaze which invites the viewer into her creative space.
