About the piece

Painted in 1747, this striking portrait by Swiss master Jean-Étienne Liotard captures Laura Tarsi in 'Turquerie' fashion, a popular 18th-century European fascination with Eastern styles. The work showcases Liotard’s extraordinary ability to render texture, from the luminous pearls and emeralds to the plush velvet of the green kaftan and the delicate, shimmering gold embroidery of the blue silk dress.
