About the piece
Painted in 1884 by Belgian artist Eugène Siberdt, this portrait depicts Mrs. Van Soom with a calm, direct gaze. The composition utilizes a chiaroscuro effect, where the sitter's luminous face and intricate jewelry—including a sapphire earring and pearl brooch—emerge from a deep, atmospheric background.
