About the piece

Painted in 1917, this portrait of Berta Dylion showcases Olga Boznańska’s masterful ability to capture psychological depth through a muted, tonal palette. The sitter is depicted with silver hair against a brooding, textured background, creating a sense of quiet contemplation characteristic of Boznańska's sophisticated modernism.
