About the piece
Painted in 1876, this masterful portrait by Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt depicts his sister, Ellen. The work is characterized by the striking contrast between her shimmering cream-colored silk dress and the deep, moody greens of the tropical foliage in the background, showcasing Edelfelt's skill in capturing light, texture, and character.
