Dame im Lehnstuhl 1876

Albert von Keller's "Dame im Lehnstuhl" (1876) depicts a woman sitting in a chair, her back to the viewer. The painting is characterized by its dark palette and loose brushwork. This style was common in 19th century European painting, particularly in Germany, where it was often employed in portraits and genre scenes. The woman's white dress, contrasting with the dark background, draws attention to her delicate form, and the visible detail of her lace trim further underscores the feminine elegance of the subject.
