Portrait of Mademoiselle Dubois 1884

"Portrait of Mademoiselle Dubois," painted in 1884 by Alfred Stevens, depicts a fashionable young woman, Mademoiselle Dubois, standing on a balcony. She wears a burgundy jacket and a black hat, with a bouquet of purple flowers in her hand. Stevens was a Belgian artist known for his refined portraits and his depiction of fashionable women. He captures Dubois' elegance and refined air. The composition is a classic portrait, with the subject in the foreground, but the balcony railing and the view beyond give a glimpse of the world outside.
