About the piece
Painted in 1799 by Marie-Guillemine Benoist, this portrait epitomizes the Neoclassical style with its focus on clear lines and idealized form. The sitter, dressed in a fashionable Grecian-style white gown and wrapped in a rich yellow shawl with a decorative border, gazes thoughtfully off-canvas against a muted, atmospheric background.
