About the piece

Created in 1882, this soft pastel portrait by Finnish master Albert Edelfelt exemplifies his skill in capturing light and delicate texture. The subject is depicted in profile, her warm-toned dress and white floral accent rendered with the fluid, atmospheric strokes characteristic of late 19th-century European realism.
