About the piece
Painted in 1793 by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, this masterful portrait depicts Countess Maria Theresia Bucquoi. The sitter is elegantly attired in a fashionable turban and a striking red shawl, her thoughtful gaze met with a soft, composed expression. Behind her, the rugged beauty of a mountainous landscape with a cascading waterfall provides an atmospheric backdrop that embodies the late 18th-century romantic interest in nature.
