Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

The pastel technique is ideal for capturing the subject in the act of painting. It's no coincidence, then, that it was favored by some of the greatest 18th-century portraitists, who saw it as a means of creating soft, velvety effects and capturing the nuances of the face or clothing.
This portrait was certainly composed in the 1770s.
The gaze is detached. The hair, powdered and curled on the side, is pulled back and tied with a black catogan. The clothes, from the silk jabot extending into fine white lace to the blue vest and red jacket, testify to the aristocratic elegance of the period.
Our portrait is listed by Mr. Neil Jeffares in his Dictionary of pastellists before 1800 (ref. J.9.4045).

Details:
- Pastel on paper mounted on canvas.
- Sold framed, period frame.
