About the piece

Painted by Antoine Vestier in 1791, this charming portrait captures a woman in a moment of leisure as she reaches to pick a rose. The work showcases the exquisite textures of her lace shawl, the deep velvet of her bodice, and her soft, powdered curls—hallmarks of French sophistication during the late 18th century.
