About the piece
Painted circa 1830 by Hendrik Scheffer, this evocative portrait captures Adélaïde Rousseau-Scheffer with a serene and dignified gaze. The luminous treatment of the subject's skin and white dress provides a striking contrast against the deep, atmospheric background and the muted tones of her draped shawl, exemplifying the refined sensibility of French Romanticism.
