About the piece
Attributed to the French painter Jean-Baptiste Santerre, this luminous work from around 1704 depicts a woman in the guise of an artist. Dressed in a magnificent coral-red gown with billowing sleeves, she holds a wooden palette and a handful of brushes, her gaze fixed calmly on the viewer. The piece exemplifies the elegance of the early 18th-century French school, blending formal portraiture with an atmospheric, painterly technique.
