About the piece
Painted in 1881 by the French academic master Alexandre Cabanel, this portrait of Miss Fanny Clapp exemplifies the refined elegance of the Belle Époque. The sitter is captured with luminous skin and expressive eyes, her shimmering teal-blue silk dress providing a striking focal point against the rich, dark background.
