About the piece
Painted around 1798 by the Italian Neoclassical master Andrea Appiani, this portrait depicts Jeanne Geneviève Fortunée Hamelin, a prominent figure in French society. She is rendered with a quiet dignity, her signature dark curls contrasting with the soft, ethereal light of the landscape background and the crisp white of her Directoire-style gown.
