About the piece

Painted in 1799 by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, this portrait captures Natalia Zakharovna Kolycheva with a gentle, intelligent gaze. The work showcases the artist's signature ability to render fine textiles, from the rich blue of the gown to the shimmering folds of the ochre shawl and the translucent white headscarf.
