The artist has masterfully captured the woman's beauty, with her elegant posture and delicate features. The use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figure and giving her a radiant presence within the courtyard.
The painting is a remarkable example of French academic art of the late 19th century, a period known for its attention to detail, realism, and a deep appreciation for classical themes. The choice of a courtyard setting, with its architectural elements and lush greenery, adds depth and context to the artwork, further immersing the viewer in the scene. The painting is tastefully framed in a carved wood frame, which complements the overall aesthetic. Dated '84.
