The artwork titled “Wienczyslawa Barczewska, Madame de Jurjewicz,” is a distinguished oil on canvas portrait created in 1860 by the renowned artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter. Exemplifying the Neo-Rococo movement, this portrait currently resides in a private collection.
The portrait features a poised woman dressed in an elegant white gown, adorned with intricate detailing and accentuated by a dark lace shawl draped over her shoulder. She is depicted seated in a relaxed manner, with one hand resting gently on her dress and the other delicately touching her hair. The backdrop of the painting is subdued and dark, further emphasizing the subject’s luminous complexion and the opulent fabric of her dress. The overall composition exudes a sense of grace and sophistication, characteristic of Winterhalter’s portraiture style and the Neo-Rococo movement.
