About the piece
This exquisite pastel by Jean-Étienne Liotard depicts Karoline Luise von Baden engaged in the study of painting. The work showcases Liotard’s legendary mastery of the pastel medium, visible in the delicate rendering of her translucent skin, the soft textures of her gown, and the rich, saturated blue of the ermine-lined mantle.
