About the piece

Painted in 1864, 'The Pink Dress' is one of Frédéric Bazille’s most celebrated works. It depicts his cousin, Thérèse des Hours, seated on a terrace in the south of France. The painting is a masterful example of early Impressionism, showcasing Bazille's ability to render brilliant natural light and the subtle interplay of shadow, creating a scene of profound stillness and warmth.
