About the piece
Painted in 1748 by Jean-Marc Nattier, this portrait epitomizes the soft elegance of the French Rococo style. The artist's renowned ability to capture the luminosity of skin and the shimmer of silk is evident in the contrast between the woman's delicate features and the deep teal wrap. The inclusion of floral accents and a prominent lavender bow adds a touch of romantic character to this formal composition.
