This is a stunning portrayal of a sophisticated woman. The subject is shown in a half-length profile, set against a draped backdrop while gazing towards the viewer. She is adorned in a beautiful blue evening gown adorned with delicate floral designs, accompanied by a yellow chiffon shawl and a long white glove held in her left hand.

This unsigned oil on canvas from the 1830s is a representative piece of French Romanticism movement and is believed to be from the circle of renowned painter Louis Hersent (Paris, 1777-1860).
