Dame am Spinett (1871). Hans Makart (Austrian, 1840–1884). Oil on canvas. Austrian Gallery Belvedere.The prince Von Hohenlohe provided Makart with an old foundry to use as a studio. He turned it into an impressive place full of sculptures, flowers, musical instruments, requisites and jewelry that he used to create classical settings for his portraits, mainly of women. Eventually his studio looked like a salon and became a social meeting point in Vienna. Cosima Wagner described it as a “wonder of decorative beauty, a sublime lumber-room.” -- source link
