About the piece
This 1868 portrait by Swiss artist Arnold Böcklin depicts Anna Elisabeth Burckhardt-Brenner with remarkable sensitivity. The subject is shown in a three-quarter profile against a muted blue-grey background, which serves to highlight the luminous rendering of her skin and the delicate texture of her white lace collar. The work exemplifies the sophisticated, painterly realism of the mid-19th century.
