About the piece
Created in 1813 by Nicolas-Antoine Taunay, this intimate oil portrait captures Jeanneton with remarkable dignity. The artist employs a dramatic chiaroscuro effect, contrasting the bright whites of her ruffled bonnet and wrap against a deep, dark backdrop to emphasize her gentle expression and the fine textures of the fabric.
