About the piece
Created by the esteemed French painter Jean-Baptiste van Loo, this portrait depicts Madame Albert de Bormes in the allegorical guise of a grape harvester. The work is notable for its luminous skin tones and the sophisticated contrast between the richly textured red silk and the delicate white lace of her garments, all framed by a wide-brimmed blue hat.
