A. Stevens (1823-1906), Attributed to - De vergankelijkheid

This oil painting is signed by Alfred Stevens, as seen on the nameplate at the bottom of the frame. The image depicts a portrait of a young woman in profile, wearing a blue dress with black-and-white striped accents, while an older figure is visible in the background.
Although Alfred Stevens (1823–1906) was a famous Belgian painter known for his elegant portraits of Parisian ladies, the visual characteristics of this particular work (such as the composition and the way the figures are depicted) also show similarities with the style of other 19th-century portraitists.
