About the piece
Painted by French Neoclassical master François-Xavier Fabre in 1795, this work features a young woman leaning in sorrow against an ancient Roman-style funerary urn. The piece is celebrated for its luminous rendering of the figure and the dramatic, pensive atmosphere created by the high contrast between the subject and the deep, dark background.
