Painted in the romantic style of the late Victorian period\u003cbr\u003ewith loose, confident brushwork, deep emerald and umber shadows giving\u003cbr\u003eway to the luminous white drapery of her garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject is rendered in the manner of academic salon studies of the\u003cbr\u003e1880s and 1890s, when portraiture took on a more intimate, contemplative\u003cbr\u003equality. The pose and palette suggest a study from life rather than a\u003cbr\u003ecommissioned likeness — possibly an artist's model captured during a\u003cbr\u003equiet moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuropean School, late 19th century.
