About the piece
Painted around 1845 by Hendrik Scheffer, this intimate oil study is a masterful example of French Romantic-era portraiture. The young sitter, presumed to be Jeanne Scheffer, is rendered with luminous skin tones and soft, light-catching hair, set against a deep, moody background that allows her bright white lace gown to glow. It is a timeless piece that evokes a sense of quiet elegance and nostalgia.
