About the piece

Painted in 1844 by Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, this oil on canvas portrait features an elderly woman rendered with a blend of realism and soft atmosphere. She is shown in three-quarter view wearing an elaborate lace-trimmed bonnet adorned with muted pink ribbons, her face etched with a lifetime of character. The dark, uniform background serves to highlight the luminous textures of her fine lace collar and the gentle play of light on her features.
