About the piece
Painted in 1860 by Jozef Van Lerius, this formal portrait depicts Princess Herminie de Looz et Corswarem seated before a classical stone pedestal. She is dressed in an ornate brown gown with an intricate white lace collar and a vibrant red paisley shawl, while a large Saint Bernard dog rests at her feet, adding a sense of warmth and loyalty to the noble setting.
