About the piece
Painted around 1725 by Louis de Silvestre, this portrait depicts Anna Orzelska, the daughter of August II the Strong. She is shown in a masculine-style riding habit of striking blue and gold, reflecting the fashion and status of the Rococo court. The work exemplifies the polished, dignified style of early 18th-century European court painting.
