About the Item

Fleur de Neige by Jan Van Beers, painted in July 1880, stands out for the delicacy of its depiction. This remarkable portrait depicts a woman dressed in a sumptuous white costume, adorned with pearls, feathers and head jewellery, creating an aesthetic that is both elegant and theatrical. The whole evokes a light, graceful atmosphere, capturing a steamy, enchanting feeling. The words ‘Respectueux hommage à Madame G. A Godillot’ suggest a dedication to someone dear to the artist, perhaps a Parisian socialite who was part of the artist's circle, or perhaps an actress who played the central character in the story ‘Fleur de Neige’. This Russian tale, imbued with mystery and poetry, tells the story of a young woman resisting unjust trials. Her refined attire reflects the elegance of the period, adding a theatrical dimension to this captivating portrait.
