Margarita Eramian

Margarita Eramian (née Carletti, 1868-1954) is wearing an elegant evening dress made of a dark and bright fabric with intricate floral patterns. Additional ruffles are decorating the short sleeves and the V-shaped opening on the chest, where there are attached two marguerites. The lower part of the dress, though hidden behind the back of an armchair, seems to have a full skirt flaring away naturally from the wearer’s tiny waist. The tight waist accentuates the elegant figure of the young lady. Her left arm, which is resting on the back of the armchair, is partly covered by a black shawl. Margarita’s dark hair is caught up and the outfit is completed by a bracelet and a ring in the middle finger of her right hand, in which she is holding flowers similar to those that decorate her décolleté. She seems to be absorbed by watching these flowers.
