About the piece
This elegant oil painting, dated to 1829, captures Ernesta Grisi in a moment of quiet confidence. She is depicted with a direct gaze, wearing a crisp white dress and a vibrant red headband that punctuates the soft color palette of the neoclassical interior. Part of the collection at the Maison de Balzac, the work reflects the refined aesthetic and painterly precision of the early 19th century.
