About the piece

Painted in 1862 by Henri Fantin-Latour, this elegant oil portrait depicts Madame Edwin Edwards. The work is a masterclass in the treatment of light and texture, specifically in the rendering of the sitter's white lace-trimmed dress which glows against the somber, atmospheric background.
