About the piece
Painted around 1865 by Eugène Giraud, this evocative oil portrait depicts the French actress Dinah Félix. Dressed in a stylized 'soubrette' costume featuring a crisp white apron over a vibrant teal skirt, she stands against a moody, atmospheric background that emphasizes her luminous presence and the rich textures of her garments.
