The artwork, titled “Zofia Potocka, Countess Zamoyska,” was created by the renowned artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter in the year 1870. Executed in oil on canvas, the piece belongs to the Neo-Rococo art movement and falls within the portrait genre. Presently, the artwork resides in a private collection.
The portrait depicts a woman with an expression of tranquil elegance, meticulously rendered in a style characteristic of the Neo-Rococo movement. She is adorned with a dark lace shawl draped over her shoulders, contrasting with her light-toned dress. On her shoulder, a red bow adds a touch of color to the composition, complemented by a bouquet of flowers she holds, further enhancing the vivid yet graceful aesthetic. The background consists of soft, muted tones that emphasize the countess’s refined features and serene demeanor. The oval frame encasing the portrait contributes to the intimacy and elegance of the piece, highlighting Winterhalter’s mastery in capturing the nobility and poise of his subject.
