About the piece

Painted in 1879 by Auguste Toulmouche, this oil on canvas captures the refined leisure of the late 19th century. The subject, adorned in a meticulously rendered ruffled white gown with delicate blue accents, leans into a rose bush, epitomizing the 'Parisienne' style of academic realism for which the artist was celebrated.
