Lukeva pariisitar is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting depicts a young woman in a pink dress, sitting on a couch with a book in her hand. The background is a floral patterned wall with green leaves on the right side. The woman's face is blurred, but her dark hair is visible. The painting's style is realistic, with attention to detail in the woman's clothing and the background. The use of pastel colors gives the painting a soft, gentle feel.
