About the piece
Painted in 1784 by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, the celebrated portraitist of Marie Antoinette, this work depicts the Comtesse de Cérès in a moment of quiet refinement. The artist’s characteristic mastery of texture is on full display, from the delicate ruffles of the lace collar to the soft, shimmering plumes of the hat and the luminous warmth of the sitter's complexion.
