About the piece

Painted in 1854 by Miklós Barabás, this formal portrait captures a woman of poise seated in a richly textured red velvet armchair. She wears a striking black dress with lace detailing and a black choker, set against a backdrop of draped fabric and a distant, atmospheric landscape. The work is a masterful example of mid-19th-century European portraiture, showcasing delicate skin tones and heavy textile textures.
