Жіночий портрет авторства Emma Jeannette Risler-Рuerarii (1836-1924)

Antique graphic portrait of the second half of the nineteenth century. A very lyrical image of a smiling young woman in a blue dress with transparent organza on a warm brown background. The work is executed with extraordinary skill: delicate modelling, subtle tonal transitions and masterful shading of the material on the surface. Pastel is considered the most difficult technique, and portraits in this technique are the highest level of the artist's skill. The portrait is framed in a gilded baguette of complex shape.
