About the piece
Painted by Lucius Rossi in 1875, this vibrant oil painting depicts a young woman lounging on a patterned divan, lost in a letter. The room is filled with fashionable Victorian decor, including a lush peace lily, an ornate rug, and a painted screen, all rendered with luminous detail and confident brushwork that brings the domestic elegance of the era to life.
