Virginie 1860s

"Virginie" is a watercolor painting by Pierre-Louis Pierson, a French artist active in the 19th century. The artwork, which depicts a young woman lying asleep in a landscape, is known for its delicate and evocative style. The artist uses soft, muted colors to capture the serene atmosphere of the scene, and the moonlit sky adds a sense of mystery and romance. The painting, which is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies the artistic trends of the 19th century, particularly the focus on realism and sentimentality.
