Portret de femeie

About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting indoors, holding a small dog in her lap. She wears a light blue dress with a white shawl draped over her shoulders. Behind her, a staff leans against the wall, and a chair sits to the right, covered with a patterned cloth. The soft colors and gentle brushstrokes give the scene a quiet, everyday feel. This style was common in the mid-1800s. Look up Realism to see more paintings like this one.
