More about this artwork

"Meditation" by Alfred Stevens, painted around 1872, showcases an introspective moment frozen in time, depicting a lone woman lost in thought. The painting captures the viewer's attention with its quiet intimacy. The woman, seated in a luxurious, Victorian-style red velvet chair, is turned away from the viewer, her profile elegantly silhouetted against a muted, almost monochromatic background that subtly hints at an atmospheric setting without detracting from the central figure.Her attire, a flowing gown adorned with delicate floral patterns, suggests a blend of comfort and refinement, hinting at her possibly genteel status. The soft folds of her dress and the gentle curve of her arm resting on the chair create a harmonious flow of lines and colors throughout the piece. A thoughtful expression plays across her features, and her gaze, directed towards something unseen, invites viewers to ponder what might be weighing on her mind.This painting is an excellent embodiment of Stevens' style, which often centered around the nuanced and richly detailed portrayal of quiet moments in women’s lives.
