Description

Eugene Edelman Gallery
Christie's, London

If Vogue magazine existed in the late 19th century, this sitter could be on the cover. The depth of her feminine beauty and sweetness is mesmerizing. She looks at you. You gawk back. The work is impeccably rendered in a soft palette without any brush strokes. The work is framed.
