About the piece
Attributed to Adèle Romany, this late 18th-century painting depicts a woman in refined Neoclassical dress engaged in the art of portraiture. Seated among her tools—a palette, music sheets, and a draped chair—she works on an oval canvas, her serene expression and the soft, luminous lighting creating a sophisticated and scholarly atmosphere.
