EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait, created by the English School, captures the allure and elegance of a young woman from the period between 1700 and 1750. Dressed in the height of fashion, she wears a richly colored, oval-shaped dress adorned with intricate metal and enamel techniques, a popular trend during this era. The copper-colored enamelie detailing on her dress and jewelry adds a warm, lustrous quality to the piece. Her hair, styled in the bassetaille fashion, cascades down her shoulders, framing her delicate features and the direct gaze she casts towards the viewer. The young woman's neckline reveals a hint of cleavage, accentuating her feminine form. Her pierced ears are adorned with elegant earrings, and a pendant necklace adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. The portrait's warm white background allows the subject to stand out, drawing the eye to her striking features and the intricacies of her attire. This work of art, with its rich history and timeless beauty, is a testament to the fashion and heritage of the 18th century. It is currently housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, and continues to inspire and captivate audiences in modern times.
