About the piece
Attributed to Pierre Mignard I, this 1678 equestrian portrait depicts the Countess of Saint Géran in a moment of stately grace. Dressed in rich, patterned silks and an elaborate feathered headdress, she sits atop a dappled horse, set against a detailed view of a French estate and town under a dramatic sky. The work showcases the masterful rendering of texture in the Countess's garments and the muscularity of the horse.
