About the piece

Painted in 1870 by Felix Schurig, this work captures a private, contemplative moment of a woman at her toilette. The composition is defined by the striking contrast between the subject's luminous pale skin and the heavy, crimson drapery that falls around her, set against a dark, atmospheric garden background.
