About the piece
Painted by the French master Nicolas de Largillière around 1721, this portrait captures the refinement of the late Baroque era. The sitter is depicted with soft, powdered hair and a serene expression, dressed in a voluminous blue gown accented with lace and jewels. The deep, moody background serves to emphasize the luminosity of her skin and the masterful treatment of the metallic fabrics and shimmering cloak.
