Wienczyslawa Barczewska, Madame de Jurjewicz 1860

Franz Xaver Winterhalter's 1860 portrait of Wienczyslawa Barczewska, Madame de Jurjewicz, is a classic example of the artist's signature style. Painted in an oval format, the subject is depicted in a seated pose, her elegant gown and delicate features showcasing the refined tastes of the era. Winterhalter, a celebrated portrait artist of the 19th century, captured the grace and beauty of his subjects with meticulous detail and a romantic sensibility. This artwork is currently housed in a private collection and offers a glimpse into the world of aristocracy in 19th-century Europe.
