More about this artwork
The painting titled "A Roman Woman In Carnival Costume" by Wilhelm Marstrand portrays a young woman dressed in vibrant and festive attire, representing a traditional or historical carnival costume. The woman is depicted with a serene and direct gaze towards the viewer, adding a sense of intimacy and engagement. Her attire is richly detailed: she wears a white blouse with a sheer, embroidered shawl that drapes gently across her shoulders. The sleeves of the blouse are also decoratively detailed with lace.A striking red garment, possibly a shawl or a jacket, wraps around her left arm, adding a vivid splash of color that contrasts beautifully with the softer tones of her blouse. This red garment enhances the festive, carnival feel of the attire. Around her neck, a simple, yet elegant, red coral necklace complements her skin tone and the overall color scheme of her costume.Her dark hair is styled simply, adorned with a black ribbon bow, framing her face softly and drawing attention to her composed expression. She holds a small bouquet of fresh flowers in one hand, suggesting a sense of celebration or perhaps a gift received during the carnival.
