About the piece
Attributed to Jean-Baptiste Perronneau in 1743, this delicate pastel captures a moment of childhood innocence with remarkable softness. The luminous treatment of the girl's skin and the intricate lace of her blue dress contrast beautifully with the tactile texture of the kitten's fur, all set against a serene, atmospheric background.
