Portrait of Katarzyna Potocka née Branicka (1850). Ary Scheffer (Dutch-French, 1795-1858). Oil on canvas. National Museum in Warsaw. The delicate beauty of the countess fits perfectly with Scheffer’s style. Her white skin, the long neck, oval face, small lips, the large and open eyes and dark hair makes her a model of feminine beauty of the time. The countess leans seductively against the arm of a chaise-longue, half smiling, dressed in a tunic gown and fashionable Indian shawl. -- source link
