About the piece

This mid-19th-century oil painting by François-Auguste Biard captures a woman of refinement in a delicate white gown and a long black lace mantilla. Positioned on a stone balcony beside flowering planters, she gazes calmly at the viewer as a serene river valley stretches behind her under a warm evening sky.
