About the piece
Painted in 1845 by Mathias Stoltenberg, this portrait of Ellen Sophie Richter is a masterclass in the depiction of texture. The artist focuses on the delicate transparency of the sitter's lace bonnet and collar, which frame her face with a soft, luminous quality. Set against a dark, understated background, the work embodies the quiet dignity of 19th-century European portraiture.
