About the piece
Painted in 1893 by French artist François Flameng, this portrait captures Vera Kharitonenko in a moment of quiet dignity. Seated in a plush chair against a patterned blue backdrop, she wears a rich dark cape over a velvet green dress, accented by fine jewelry and a small collection of personal items on a side table. The work exemplifies the sophisticated portraiture of the Belle Époque.
