Zittende jonge vrouw met zwarte shawl en paarse rok 1860 - 1892

Angelo Achini's "Zittende jonge vrouw met zwarte shawl en paarse rok" (1860-1892) showcases a woman in a lavishly decorated interior, likely an aristocratic drawing room. The woman, dressed in a soft blue and white gown and a voluminous black shawl, sits gracefully, creating a sense of elegance and refined composure. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the fabrics, the fine floral arrangements in the vase, and the intricate patterns of the tiled floor. The work exemplifies the style of portraiture popular in the late 19th century, capturing the grace and beauty of the subject through careful observation and delicate brushwork.
