EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century oil painting, titled "Head of a woman (the Virgin?)" by Emma Leroux de Lincy, captivates the viewer with its gentle and serene portrayal of a young woman. Dressed in a blue cloak and wearing a simple, white dress, the subject gazes down with an introspective expression, her long, brunette hair cascading over her shoulders. The painting, created in 1842, is now part of the esteemed collection at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, one of the city's most renowned institutions for historic art. The Virgin Mary, also known as Our Lady of Refuge or Stella Maris, is often depicted with a contemplative expression and veiled in blue, making some art historians believe that this painting may be a representation of the Virgin. However, the identity of the woman remains a subject of debate, adding to the intrigue and allure of this exquisite work of art. Painted on canvas using oil, the vibrant colors and intricate details bring the young woman's features to life, making her seem almost tangible. The painting's rich heritage and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in the fashion and art of the 19th century, as well as for those with a deep appreciation for the beauty and mystery of the human form.
