About the piece
Painted in 1821 by Léon Larue, this exquisite portrait depicts Maria S.J.A. de Stephanis with the refined poise of the Regency era. She is styled in a diaphanous pale pink dress accented by a classic pearl necklace and a striking feathered hat, set against a softly draped lavender background that enhances the work's romantic atmosphere.
