About the piece
Painted in 1875 by Marie Petiet, this charming oil study titled 'Serenade' depicts a young woman playing a mandolin. The work is characterized by its warm, atmospheric lighting and the delicate rendering of textures, from the intricate lace of her collar to the polished wood of the instrument, reflecting the artist's refined academic style.
