About the piece
Painted in 1812 by Jan Pfeifer, this portrait depicts Mrs. Dziekońska in the fashionable high-waisted silhouette of the early 19th century. The composition centers on her gentle expression and intricate curls, set against a striking red shawl and an atmospheric dark background that highlights the luminous quality of the oil painting.
