About the piece
Painted in 1875 by the celebrated French portraitist Carolus-Duran, this work depicts Léonie Dufresne in a sophisticated black gown. The dramatic crimson background highlights the porcelain tones of the sitter's skin and the intricate lace detailing of her dress, exemplifying the glamour of Third Republic high society.
