About the piece
Dating from approximately 1800, this oil painting depicts a woman dressed as an 'Avignon patriot' in the traditional style of the Comtat Venaissin. The sitter is captured with a serene expression, meticulously rendered in a delicate lace cap and an intricately patterned shawl that highlights the regional fashion of the post-revolutionary era.
