About the piece
Painted around 1797, this refined portrait depicts Izabela Ogińska in a moment of quiet poise. The striking contrast between her vibrant orange shawl and the soft, white fur of her lapdog creates a balanced and engaging composition, characteristic of European portraiture from the late Enlightenment period.
