About the piece

This 1711 oil portrait captures the refined elegance of the early 18th century. The subject is depicted with powdered hair and a gentle gaze, her dark bodice contrasted by a luminous white neckline and a rich, draped red cloak. The work showcases the masterful rendering of skin tones and textiles typical of European portraiture from the era.
