About the piece
Painted by Louis de Silvestre in 1742, this portrait depicts Maria Anna of Kolowrat-Krakovský. The work showcases the sophisticated Rococo aesthetic of the mid-18th century, with careful attention paid to the textures of her powdered hair, shimmering silk gown, and luxurious fur trim.
