L’éte 

Alfred Stevens' "L’éte" is a painting that captures the elegance of a young woman in a pastel pink dress. The woman holds a fan and a bouquet of roses, her gaze directed towards the viewer, suggesting a sense of quiet contemplation. The depiction of the woman's flowing dress, delicate features, and the soft hues used in the painting reflect Stevens’ artistry in capturing the beauty and refinement of the upper class during the 19th century. The work is a testament to the artist's mastery of portraiture and realism, evident in the detailed brushstrokes and nuanced portrayal of the subject.
