About the piece
Created in 1757 by the master of pastel Jean-Étienne Liotard, this work on parchment depicts Wilhelmina Hillegonda Schuyt with remarkable precision. The composition captures the tactile luxury of Rococo fashion, highlighting the intricate black lace choker and the shimmering silk bows of her bodice against a neutral, atmospheric background.
