The artwork entitled “Portrait of a Lady with a Fan,” created by Franz Xaver Winterhalter in 1850, showcases the elegance and finesse characteristic of the Romanticism art movement. This oil on canvas painting, measuring 126 x 96 cm, belongs to the portrait genre and is part of a private collection.
In the artwork, a dignified lady is depicted seated against a subtly textured background. She dons a sophisticated black gown adorned with intricate lace, exuding a sense of opulence and grace. Accessories such as a multi-layered pearl necklace, bracelets, and a fan with delicate, colorful patterns further enhance her refined appearance. Her face is serene, with a gentle and composed expression, embodying the romantic elegance that Winterhalter masterfully captures through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail.
