About the piece

Painted in 1906 by Robert Koehler, this portrait of Alvina Roosen captures the sophisticated elegance of the early 20th century. The subject is depicted with a dignified gaze, her dark lace dress contrasting sharply with the luminous skin tones and the vivid splash of red from the roses on the table beside her. Koehler's handling of light and texture—from the intricate lace collar to the soft feathers of the fan—creates a sense of quiet luxury and presence.
