More about this artwork

"Sapphires, 1877" by Albert Joseph Moore is a painting that captures a striking sense of tranquility and grace. The artwork features a full-length portrait of a woman standing against an ornate floral background. She is clad in a flowing, sapphire blue robe that elegantly drapes over her body, complementing her serene and contemplative expression. Additionally, a matching blue turban adorns her head, adding a touch of sophistication and contrast to her red hair.The backdrop is richly decorated with a tapestry exhibiting detailed patterns in shades of blue, gold, and white, which harmonizes with the color of her attire. The attention to the texture and fabric of her gown and the backdrop exemplifies Moore's skill in rendering materials and nuanced details.Noteworthy is her posture, arms crossed with one hand gently grasping her draped garment, suggesting a moment of introspection or pause. Her direct gaze towards the viewer establishes a quiet but powerful connection, typical of Moore’s aesthetic focuses which often include contemplative female figures amidst ornate settings.At the bottom of the painting, there is an interesting addition of white flowers and a butterfly on a ledge, adding a layer of natural beauty and a subtle reminder of the outside world creeping into this serene, isolated moment. The use of light, color, and composition in this painting creates a soothing yet enigmatic atmosphere, characteristic of Moore's work during the aestheticism movement in the late 19th century.
