About the piece

Painted around 1840, this portrait by Austrian master Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller captures the refined grace of the Biedermeier period. The subject's luminous skin and the deep, sculptural folds of her navy dress are rendered with remarkable detail, set against a soft, atmospheric outdoor background.
