About the piece
Masterfully executed by Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera around 1716, this exquisite pastel portrait depicts Lucrezia Mocenigo. The work demonstrates the artist's celebrated ability to render luminous skin and delicate textures, from the intricate lace of the chemise to the soft luster of pearls woven through the sitter's powdered hair, embodying the refined aesthetic of the early 18th century.
