About the piece
Painted in 1876, this striking oil study by Carolus-Duran showcases the artist's masterful use of color and light. The subject, potentially fellow artist Eva Gonzalès, is depicted in profile with a dark mantilla and a delicate rose in her hair, set against a rich, painterly red ground that lends the work an air of romantic intensity.
