EDITORS COMMENTS
[Portrait in a White Dress], 1856-57, printed 1861-66. This photo print, taken by Pierre-Louis Pierson in the mid-19th century, showcases the elegance and beauty of Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione. Dressed in a stunning white gown with intricate details and adorned with a crinoline hoop skirt, she exudes grace and sophistication. The hand-colored tinting adds a touch of vibrancy to this timeless portrait, bringing out the countess's radiant complexion and enhancing the delicate folds of her dress. Standing tall in full length, she commands attention with her poise and regal presence. Countess Virginia was an Italian aristocrat known for her striking looks and influential role within French society. Her impeccable fashion sense made her an icon of style during that era. This photograph captures not only her physical beauty but also hints at the strength and confidence that lie beneath. Preserved as part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this image serves as a testament to both Pierson's skillful photography technique and Countess Virginia's enduring legacy. It offers us a glimpse into the world of high society in 19th-century France while showcasing the artistry involved in early photography. This remarkable piece is more than just a photograph; it is an exquisite work of art that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
