About the piece
This 1887 oil study by Albert Edelfelt captures Countess Augusta Lewenhaupt with fluid, confident brushstrokes. The piece balances a delicate lavender gown against a warm, divided background of pink and ochre, exemplifying the luminous and atmospheric qualities of late 19th-century European portraiture.
