The subject, a woman exuding elegance and wealth, is beautifully depicted in this oil painting on canvas. Dressed in a luxurious fur coat that speaks of her status and opulence, she leans on her elbow with her head resting gently in her hands. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every nuance of the woman's clothing and accessories. Her Victorian-era dress showcases intricate patterns and rich colors, highlighting the fashion trends of the time. Through his skilled brushstrokes, Gerome brings out not only the physical beauty but also the inner strength and poise of this remarkable woman.
