Her expression seems calm, however, perhaps suggesting that she is familiar with whatever has distracted her. Her pose is based on the Medici Venus, a famous marble sculpture of the goddess of love made in Greece in the first century BC. While the sculpted Venus is nude, this woman is just covered by a thin white blouse and brown shawl.\n\nThe smooth skin of the woman’s face and neck was created with feathery brushstrokes of pink, white and subtle blue tones, while thicker layers of paint give her arms a sense of three-dimensionality. Fine, delicate brushstrokes make up her glossy black hair, with bright highlights to show the reflection of light. This picture was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1828.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/claude-marie-dubufe-the-surprise\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Surprise\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Claude-Marie Dubufe","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509469188339,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (25 5\/8\" x 21 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509469221107,"sku":null,"price":986.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 5\/8\" x 16 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509469253875,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24\" x 20\")","offer_id":50509469286643,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 3\/8\" x 24 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509469319411,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (37 7\/8\" x 31 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509469352179,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (45 1\/2\" x 38\")","offer_id":50509469384947,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (53 5\/8\" x 44 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509469417715,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (64 3\/8\" x 53 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509469450483,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheSurprise.jpg?v=1788653184","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-surprise-ngal315","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
