About the piece
Created around 1805 by French master Louis-Léopold Boilly, this portrait depicts Madame Corsse with a soft, dignified expression. The work exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering the subtle translucency of skin and the intricate pleats of Empire-style fashion against a muted, atmospheric background typical of the period.
