About the piece

Painted around 1890 by Portuguese artist José Malhoa, this striking portrait captures a woman with a confident, direct gaze. The soft treatment of light and the rich texture of the fur stole create a sophisticated, moody atmosphere characteristic of late 19th-century European portraiture.
