About the piece
Painted in 1738 by Jean-Marc Nattier, this masterpiece of the Rococo era captures the youthful elegance of the Marquise d'Antin. The composition features the sitter in a shimmering white gown adorned with a vibrant floral sash, balancing a blue parrot on her hand while a small spaniel rests at her side. Nattier’s signature luminous skin tones and soft, atmospheric landscape background make this an iconic example of 18th-century French portraiture.
