About the piece

Painted in 1911 by the Belgian artist Jakob Smits, 'The Bride Josine' is a masterful example of his signature impasto technique. The work captures a quiet, contemplative moment, as the young sitter in her delicate white gown and dark sash holds a loose bouquet of flowers. The heavy relief of the paint creates a shimmering, tactile surface that catches the light, lending the piece a sophisticated, old-world presence.
