EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait, created between 1725 and 1750 by the English School, captures the allure and elegance of a young woman of the time. Dressed in the latest fashion, she dons a bassetaille, a dress with a low-waisted, full skirt and a fitted bodice, which was popular during this period in Britain. The dress is adorned with intricate copper enamel work, showcasing the advanced techniques of the time. Her neckline is adorned with a delicate pearl necklace, and she wears a pair of large, enamelled earrings, a common accessory for women of the era. The young woman gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and poised expression, her dark eyes captivating and inviting. Her white, oval-shaped face is framed by a cascade of chestnut curls, and her rosy cheeks add a touch of youthful charm. The portrait is a testament to the beauty and grace of the young women of the time, and a reminder of the rich fashion heritage of the 18th century. This portrait is now housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, and a treasure trove of European art and heritage. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of the past, and the timeless beauty of portraiture as an art form.
