Jeune Femme Nue Se Coiffant Dans Un Intérieur (1887)

Jean André Rixens (French, 1846–1925)

A woman stands before a mirror, her body bathed in soft light. One hand lifts to arrange her hair while the other rests at her side—unhurried, private. The reflection blurs slightly, as if caught between motion and stillness. The room holds its breath around her.
Woman Looking out a Window (Portrait of A.M. Hooey) (1895)

George Albert Thompson (American, unknown)

A woman stands by the window, her gaze distant. The light catches the curve of her cheek, the folds of her dress. Outside, the world blurs—just shapes, colors. But here, in this quiet corner, her stillness holds everything.
Woman In White (c. 1880)

Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta (Spanish, 1841–1920)

A woman in a flowing white dress stands poised, the fabric catching the light. Her gaze holds quiet confidence, the folds of her gown suggesting movement frozen in time. The contrast of crisp white against the muted background draws the eye, leaving an impression of effortless elegance.
Kränzewinden (1905)

Ludwig von Hofmann (German, 1861–1945)

Young women weave garlands in a sunlit grove, their bare arms brushing against leaves. The air hums with quiet movement—fabric rustles, stems snap, blossoms tumble into place. A dance of hands and flowers, half-hidden by dappled light.
La Rousse

Abel Dominique Boye (French, 1864–1933)

A woman with fiery red hair gazes past the frame, her expression unreadable. The play of light catches the warmth in her coiled strands, contrasting against her pale skin. There’s a quiet defiance in her stillness—neither inviting nor retreating, just existing, untamed.
The lady of the lake

Henry John Yeend King (English, unknown)

A lone woman stands by the lake’s edge, her reflection trembling in the water. The quiet ripples mirror her stillness, as if time hesitates around her. The trees lean in, whispering secrets to the wind. She doesn’t move—just watches, caught between the world and its watery twin.
Reverie (1883)

Władysław Czachórski (Polish, 1850–1911)

A young woman leans against a velvet chair, lost in thought. The folds of her satin gown catch the light as she gazes past the viewer, her expression unreadable. A single rose rests on the table beside her, its petals just beginning to wilt. The room feels suspended in quiet anticipation.
1897 [Women’s fashion in nineteenth-century Paris] (1902)

Henri Boutet (French, 1851–1919)

A Parisian woman adjusts her gloves, the intricate lace of her dress catching the light. The corset’s rigid silhouette contrasts with the soft drape of her skirt—every detail whispers the unspoken rules of 19th-century elegance. Fashion here isn’t just clothing; it’s armor and art fused into one.
A female figure dressed in blue holding a palm

Charles Fairfax Murray (English, 1849–1919)

A woman in flowing blue robes cradles a palm branch, her gaze distant yet intent. The drapery swirls around her like water, the green frond resting lightly against her arm. There’s weight in her stillness—something solemn, waiting. The blue deepens where shadows gather in the folds.
