About the piece

Painted in 1884, this portrait by Alfred Stevens captures 'Mademoiselle Dubois' in a moment of poised contemplation. The subject is elegantly dressed in a rich brown coat and a striking plumed hat, holding a cluster of purple irises that adds a delicate touch of color to the composition. Set against the soft textures of an outdoor awning and distant foliage, the work exemplifies the refined charm of the Belle Époque.
