Ida von Erlanger (1865–1914), was the daughter of Victor von Erlanger and Harriet von Bognard. Portrait of Baroness Erlanger is one of the most significant portraits of Jovanović by Viennese ladies, painted in the interiors of luxurious salons from the beginning of the 20th century. Based on the monumental format, it is assumed that the portrait was intended to decorate the villa of a the Baroness’s noble family. The position of the woman’s figure dressed in a translucent dress with a cloak indicates her high position, origin and reputation. The background depicts details such as a sofa in the style of Louis XVI, a fragment of a painting on the wall, a period style table and a glass jug.
