About the piece
Painted in 1739 by Jean-Marc Nattier, this portrait of Madame Marie-Henriette Berthelot de Pléneuf is a masterclass in French Rococo elegance. Nattier, renowned for his 'mythological portraits,' depicts the sitter with a graceful, serene expression, surrounded by allegorical elements like the pouring urn and reeds that suggest a connection to nature and abundance.
