About the piece
Created in 1845, this formal portrait depicts Sophie Pérumon in an 'amazone' riding habit, set within the lush environment of the Bois de Boulogne. The artist masterfully contrasts the deep, saturated tones of the sitter's dress with the airy, luminous sky and the winding forest paths, resulting in a work that combines dignified poise with a romantic sense of place.
