About the piece
Painted around 1860, this evocative portrait depicts Juliette Courbet, the artist's sister. Gustave Courbet employs a somber, tonal palette where the deep black of the dress and the moody background are punctuated by vivid flashes of coral-orange at the neck and sleeves, highlighting the subject's calm and thoughtful expression.
