About the piece
Created in 1884 by Marie Bashkirtseff, this pastel and charcoal study captures the quiet confidence of its subject, known as Madame X. The work showcases Bashkirtseff’s mastery of texture, beautifully contrasting the soft, tactile quality of the fur wrap against the delicate rendering of the sitter's features and dark, upswept hair.
