Cornelia Lotz in Black

About this work

This painting features a woman seated on a couch, dressed in a long black dress with a high collar and long sleeves. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she wears black shoes. The background is a wall adorned with a large, ornate mirror, which reflects the woman's image. The woman's posture is relaxed, with her left arm resting on the couch and her right arm hanging down. Her face is turned slightly to the left, and her expression is calm. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and the mirror's reflection. Next, explore the work of artist Károly Lotz.
