About the piece
Painted in 1897 by Jan van Beers, 'The First Appointment' captures the refined elegance of the Belle Époque. The subject is depicted in an elaborate white lace bodice and a striking plumed hat, standing thoughtfully against a backdrop of mist-shrouded trees and a simple wooden fence, blending formal portraiture with a soft, romantic landscape.
