About the piece
Created around 1730, this masterful pastel by Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera depicts herself in the allegorical guise of 'Winter'. The work showcases her celebrated ability to render soft flesh tones and the tactile richness of fur and fabrics, set against a dramatic, dark backdrop that emphasizes the vibrant blue of her cloak.
