About the piece
Painted in 1880 by Hans Makart, this work is a quintessential example of the artist's theatrical and highly decorative style. It depicts a woman in lavish Renaissance-revival attire holding a bird of prey, masterfully blending the dignity of formal portraiture with a sense of historical drama and rich texture.
