About the piece
Dating to 1747, this formal European oil painting captures Barbe-Catherine de Goër de Hervé and her granddaughter Catherine-Thérèse. The work is characterized by the rich treatment of period textiles—specifically the intricate lace and deep blue satin of the elder's gown—set against a warm, atmospheric backdrop that highlights the generational connection between the subjects.
