EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait, created by the English School between 1700 and 1750, captures the allure and elegance of a young woman of the time. Dressed in the height of fashion, she dons a richly colored, oval-shaped dress with a low-cut neckline, adorned with intricate copper enamel detailing. The dress is accessorized with a stunning pearl necklace, a symbol of wealth and status, and a pendant necklace featuring a rose, a popular motif during this period. Her brunette hair is styled in the bassetaille fashion, cascading in soft curls over her shoulders. With a direct gaze and a hint of a smile, she looks out at modern viewers with an air of confidence and composure. This miniature painting, showcasing the mastery of the English School in the use of enamel technique, is a testament to the beauty and charm of 18th century fashion and the enduring allure of portraiture. This work of art can be found in the prestigious Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the heritage of European art.
