This work is typical of Schuffenecker's works from 1892-1897 where this figure is frequently depicted in the same high-neck pink and white dress. Identified as the Comtesse de la Rochefoucauld, this friend of Schuffenecker's was an author, under the pseudonym 'Mélusine', of numerous tomes devoted to new art, mysticism, poetry of the Rose & Croix and the spiritual initiates of recondite societies, published at the turn of the twentieth century.
