About the piece
Painted in 1840 by the Austrian master Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, this work exemplifies the Biedermeier interest in light and material texture. The young subject is rendered with soft, lifelike realism, her shimmering white satin dress contrasting beautifully with a vibrant red tartan shawl and the moody, shadowed interior.
