From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Hellene von Sleben is a 1800 pastel by European 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a woman turned slightly to the side, her face in profile. She wears a light blue dress with a darker blue trim, and a strand of pearls around her neck. Her hair is swept up in soft curls, with a delicate flower pinned at the front. The soft colors and gentle curves fit the style of the time. This piece was made using pastel on special paper, which gives it a smooth, almost painted look. Check out more about the technique: pastel next.
This artist worked in 1800 Europe, leaving three small pastel portraits and one bronze lizard.
