Adelina Patti

Camille Silvy

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing gracefully. She is positioned with her head slightly tilted and eyes closed. Her right hand is held delicately near her face. She has long, dark, wavy hair falling over her shoulders and down her back. The woman is wearing a voluminous, light-colored dress that extends to the floor, with long, loose sleeves. In her right hand, she holds a candlestick with a lit candle. The background features a rustic setting with a large wooden wheel, stone architecture, and a staircase leading upwards.
