About the piece
Painted in 1804 by the preeminent French Neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David, this portrait captures Suzanne Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau with remarkable psychological depth. The sitter is depicted with dark, tousled curls and a piercing gaze, framed by the stark contrast of a white lace gown and a voluminous black shawl against a moody, textured background.
