La Parisienne 1880

"La Parisienne" is an oil painting by Alfred Stevens, completed in 1880. The artwork portrays a fashionable Parisian woman in a verdant outdoor setting. The woman is dressed in a lavish gown of green and black, with intricate lace detailing and a striking black bow at her waist. She holds a closed umbrella and appears to be walking through a park, with a small dog at her feet. Stevens' masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail bring a sense of realism to the scene. The delicate flora and fauna of the environment add a romantic touch. The artwork exemplifies the artist's fascination with the elegance and sophistication of Parisian society during the 19th century.
