About the piece

Created circa 1769, this portrait by Jean-Honoré Fragonard is a quintessential example of the artist's expressive 'fa presto' technique. The work features rapid, virtuoso brushstrokes that lend the subject a sense of fleeting life and immediacy. The soft palette and luminous lace collar highlight the delicate features of the sitter, emerging from a moody, atmospheric background characteristic of his celebrated fantasy figures.
