About the piece
Attributed to the French master Louis Tocqué around 1750, this exquisite oil painting depicts Madame Doyen, the sister-in-law of painter Gabriel-François Doyen. The subject is rendered with a luminous complexion and soft, engaging features, draped in a luxurious blue velvet mantle over a fine lace gown. The composition is highlighted by a lush garland of roses and mixed flowers, showcasing the delicate brushwork and refined palette characteristic of the period.
