About the piece
Created in 1755 by the Swiss master Jean-Étienne Liotard, this exquisite pastel on vellum captures seven-year-old Maria Frederike van Reede-Athlone with luminous detail. The work is celebrated for its tactile rendering of materials, from the rich sheen of the blue velvet to the soft texture of the ermine trim and the delicate features of the child and her companion.
