One of Frédéric Bazille’s most famous paintings, The Pink Dress, isolates the figure of his cousin seated on a hill, beholding the landscape before her; the folds and texture of her dress’ fabric are beautifully contrasted by the luminous backdrop of the city of Montpellier. This beautiful oil painting’s showcases Bazille’s talent for innovation as he transforms the traditional portraiture style into something entirely new.
