About the piece
Painted in 1796 by François Gérard, this portrait of Madame Barbier-Walbonne captures the refined aesthetic of the Directoire period. The sitter is depicted with a gentle expression, her luminous white gown contrasted against deep green drapery and striking long gloves, embodying the grace of late 18th-century French society.
