About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Bertha Wegmann, this striking oil on panel depicts her close friend and fellow artist Jeanna Bauck. The composition is defined by a sophisticated use of dark tones, from the texture of the leather gloves to the delicate transparency of the veil, all set against a neutral, atmospheric background that emphasizes the sitter's contemplative expression.
