About the piece
Painted around 1793 by Pierre Nicolas Selles, this charming portrait captures the refined fashion of the late 18th century. The sitter, once thought to be Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Méricourt, is depicted in a soft white gown accented with a pale blue sash and a silk rose, her hair styled with a signature green ribbon bow characteristic of the era.
