Giovanni Boldini Fine Art Print, Marchesa Luisa Casati, with a greyhound

Marchesa Luisa Casati with a Greyhound is less a conventional portrait than an entrance. Casati rises through the tall canvas in a dark, flowing gown, her hat casting mystery around the face while the greyhound beside her extends the composition with its own lean elegance. Everything about the painting feels designed to make ordinary presence seem insufficient.

Boldini painted the Marchesa in 1908. Luisa Casati had already made self-invention into an art form, becoming famous for extravagant dress, theatrical appearances and an appetite for the unusual. Boldini did not tame that character. His long strokes exaggerate the sweep of fabric, while the dog and the elongated figure reinforce the sense of restless, aristocratic drama. The portrait was shown publicly the following year and became one of the defining images of Casati.

Its very tall format makes this an exceptional statement piece for a staircase, entrance hall or narrow feature wall. Available as a fine art print, framed print or canvas panel in multiple sizes. Discover more Giovanni Boldini prints and society portraits. Free UK delivery is included.
