About the piece
Created around 1880 by French artist Paul Dubois, this oil-on-panel portrait is a masterful study of light and form. The sitter is captured in a refined profile, her features softly illuminated against a deep, brooding background. A single red rose tucked into her hair provides a subtle but vibrant focal point, adding a romantic touch to the otherwise somber and sophisticated composition.
