About the piece
Rendered in 1727 by Madeleine Françoise Basseporte, this exquisite pastel portrait captures the soft, airy aesthetic of the early 18th century. The artist's mastery of the medium is evident in the subtle glow of the sitter's skin and the tactile quality of the white ruffles and striking pink ribbon.
