About the piece
Painted in 1759 by François-Hubert Drouais, this exquisite portrait depicts the Marquise d'Aigurande in a moment of scholarly repose. She is adorned in a lavish floral silk gown with delicate lace ruffles, holding a book and an ivory fan that signal her refined education and high social standing. Drouais, a premier portraitist to the French royalty, demonstrates his technical mastery through the luminous rendering of skin tones and the complex textures of Rococo fashion.
