About the piece
Attributed to Florent de La Mare-Richart around 1680, this elegant French portrait captures a seated woman holding a quill, poised as if interrupted while writing. Dressed in a sumptuous red mantle with ornate gold embroidery over a white lace-trimmed bodice, she embodies the intellectual grace and material luxury of the Baroque era.
