About the piece

Painted in 1802 by François-Xavier Fabre, this stunning portrait depicts Geneviève Aimée Victoire Bertin. The sitter is shown in a high-waisted white gown with a sheer lilac shawl, her hands poised over a fortepiano. Fabre's masterful technique is evident in the luminous rendering of the skin and the delicate textures of the fabrics.
