About the piece
Created in 1746, this stunning pastel on parchment by Jean-Étienne Liotard depicts Catherine Bégon, the wife of Joseph Bouër. Liotard, a master of the pastel medium, brilliantly captures the intricate details of her black lace cape and the shimmering folds of her blue silk dress, all set against a soft, neutral background that emphasizes the sitter's dignified expression.
