About the piece
Painted in 1887, this oil study by the renowned French portraitist Carolus-Duran focuses on the delicate nape and hair of his subject, Lilia. The artist utilizes a near-monochromatic red background to emphasize the softness of the skin and the rich textures of the hair, resulting in a composition that feels both classic and surprisingly modern.
