About the piece

Painted in 1849 by Józef Simmler, this portrait depicts the artist's sister, Katarzyna Jahn. The work showcases masterful academic technique, particularly in the delicate rendering of the white lace shawl and the luminous quality of the sitter's skin against a dark, atmospheric background.
