Adelina Patti

Camille Silvy

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated. She is leaning against a small table, with her right hand on papers and her left hand holding a small object. Her gaze is towards the camera. The woman has delicate facial features and dark eyebrows and eyes. Her hair is styled in ringlets, partly covered by a floral headpiece. She wears a white or light-colored wedding dress with lace detailing, a veil, and a pearl necklace. The background includes an ornate wall with patterned wallpaper, a vintage clock, and a decorated cabinet.
