About the piece

This 1840 portrait by Friedrich von Amerling exemplifies the refined grace of the Biedermeier period. The subject is rendered with a delicate touch, her skin glowing against the deep, atmospheric background, while the broad, sweeping folds of her white dress provide a striking sculptural quality to the composition.
