About the piece
Rendered in 1749 by the Swiss master Jean-Étienne Liotard, this pastel on vellum depicts Marie-Josèphe of Saxony, the Dauphine of France. The work highlights Liotard's technical brilliance, from the delicate rendering of her skin tones to the intricate floral embroidery and lace ruff of her courtly attire.
