About the piece
Painted in 1789 by Guillaume-Joseph Roques, this portrait depicts Marie Guignon, known as Mademoiselle Lescot. She is captured in a moment of repose, her hands holding a musical score, showcasing the artist's refined ability to render the textures of shimmering ruffles, striped silk ribbons, and intricate lace caps characteristic of the late French Enlightenment.
