About the piece

Painted in 1787 by Jean-François Gilles Colson, this portrait captures the refined elegance of late 18th-century French society. The sitter is depicted with luminous skin and pearl earrings, wearing a structured white headpiece punctuated by a delicate pink rose that provides a soft focal point against the dark, atmospheric background.
