About the piece
Attributed to Joseph Aved around 1760, this portrait is believed to depict Françoise-Marie Pouget, the second wife of the celebrated painter Chardin. The composition masterfully balances the formal dignity of the sitter with the intricate, tactile details of her blue silk gown and the fine mechanics of the spinning wheel.
