Lady In White
Frederik Hendrik Kaemmerer captures the height of 19th-century fashion in this stunning profile of an elegantly dressed woman. Notice the incredible texture of her massive, fluffy white hat and the cascading ruffles of her gown, all rendered with loose, energetic brushstrokes against a sunny yellow background. As a Dutch painter who spent much of his career in Paris, Kaemmerer beautifully blends academic precision with the fleeting light and color typical of the Impressionist movement. The visible cracking on the surface adds a lovely layer of history to this glamorous portrait.
