    This portrait depicts a young woman in bust form, in profile, her face resting on her hand in a calm, introspective pose. The artist emphasizes the softness of her features and the elegance of her attire: a blue satin garment edged with dark fur, a white muslin bodice and several bracelets on her wrists.
    The soft light emphasizes the skin tone of the face, set against a neutral, dark background.
    German-born Leopold Schlessinger was active in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. A pupil of Franz Xaver Winterhalter, he specialized in portraits, particularly of female figures.
    This painting, dated 1881, is part of his production of portraits, both decorative and restrained, intended for a bourgeois or aristocratic clientele.
