About the piece
Painted in 1830 by Horace Vernet, this portrait captures the Marchesa Cunegonda Misciattelli seated at a keyboard. Behind her, a nurse tenderly holds the Marchesa's infant son, creating a layered composition of domestic life. The work exemplifies Vernet's polished style, with exquisite attention to the textures of the silk dresses and the soft features of the sitters.
