About the piece
Painted in 1769 by Nicolas Bernard Lépicié, this enchanting oil portrait depicts young Emilie Vernet. The artist masterfully captures the translucent qualities of her skin and the intricate textures of her lace-trimmed gown and oversized hat, set against a deep, atmospheric background that emphasizes the warmth and charm of the subject.
