About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Ernest Slingeneyer, this luminous oil painting depicts a seated woman from a rear perspective, focusing on the masterfully rendered textures of her skin and the soft white drapery. The inclusion of her reflection in the mirror adds a layer of psychological depth and complexity to this serene domestic scene, characteristic of late 19th-century European realism.
