About this work

The painting depicts a woman with dark hair styled in an updo, adorned with a headband. She wears a black dress featuring a gold trim around the neckline and a red shawl draped over her left shoulder. Her right hand holds a bouquet of flowers, and she accessorizes with gold earrings and a ring on her right hand. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait from the early 19th century. The artist's use of oil paint creates a rich, textured appearance. This portrait is reminiscent of the works of Kanuty Rusiecki, who was known for his detailed and expressive depictions of people.
