Fedora 1982

Alfred Stevens's painting "Fedora" from 1882 is a portrait of a woman with red hair sitting in a lush, romantic setting. The woman wears a light-colored dress, and she is holding a large golden fan. The background is made up of soft, pastel-colored brushstrokes, and it appears to be an outdoor garden with blooming flowers and delicate butterflies. Steven's painting style emphasizes the beauty of the subject and creates an overall dreamy and atmospheric mood. The title of the painting, "Fedora," suggests a connection to the operatic world, and the painting is likely a portrait of a famous singer or actress of the time.
