About the piece
This 1853 oil portrait by Hippolyte Flandrin depicts the Comtesse de Goyon in a moment of quiet dignity. The striking contrast between her dark lace-trimmed dress, tan gloves, and the deep green background highlights the artist's mastery of the academic style and delicate handling of light and texture.
