Fantin-Latour imbues his subject\u2014the sister-in-law of a close friend\u2014and her setting with an air of mystery. The painter distances Madame Maître from the viewer with an expanse of black silk, while her demure downward look avoids direct engagement. Trimmed with a froth of white lace ruffles and a bouquet of roses, Maître\u2019s evening dress emphasizes her corseted waistline and eyedrawing, low neckline. The sparse furnishings and the raking light from above, which makes her ivory skin glow and heavy gold jewelry sparkle, suggest that the setting is the artist\u2019s studio rather than a home. With one hand ungloved, the subject may be at either the beginning or the end of the sitting.
