Painted in 1896, this remarkable piece captures in intimate detail the grace and contemplation of Ellan Edelfelt, the artist's wife.In this portrait, Ellan is depicted in a profile view that accentuates her delicate facial features, set against a muted background that subtly enhances her presence.

The painting is dominated by the deep, velvety black of her outer garment, which is enriched with a textured fur collar that frames her neck, adding a touch of opulence and softness to the composition.The use of lighting in this portrait is masterful; Edelfelt’s delicate brushwork highlights the gentle pallor of Ellan’s skin and the glossy dark waves of her hair, creating a striking contrast with the dark tones of her attire.
