About the piece

Created in 1882, this work exemplifies the theatrical and lush painterly style of Hans Makart. The subject, a young woman in a sumptuously rendered burgundy gown, emerges from the shadows in a moment of quiet introspection. Makart’s confident brushwork and sophisticated use of light create a commanding presence that embodies the elegance of the Belle Époque.
