About the piece
Created in 1890 by Alfred Philippe Roll, this luminous oil painting depicts the celebrated French actress Jane Hading. Seated in a high-backed chair, she wears a striking dark gown punctuated by subtle glints of light, framed by an atmospheric interior of blossoming flowers and a Japanese-style screen. The work is a sophisticated example of late 19th-century portraiture, blending refined formality with painterly texture.
