About the piece
This formal double portrait by Pierre Subleyras depicts Madame Poulhariez and her daughter Anne in a setting of refined 18th-century luxury. The artist masterfully renders the textures of delicate lace, shimmering blue silk, and the soft features of the young girl, while a loyal greyhound gazes up from the corner, completing the intimate family scene. The work is a prime example of French portraiture, emphasizing both the status and the personal bond of the sitters.
