EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait captures the youthful beauty and elegance of a young woman, painted between 1725 and 1750 by the English School. The artist masterfully employs the popular bassetaille composition, with the subject seated in an oval-shaped frame, her body angled slightly towards the viewer. The young woman's fair complexion is accentuated by her blonde hair, styled in intricate curls and adorned with a large, enamelled pendant. Her dress, fashioned in the latest style of the time, is a stunning example of 18th century apparel, featuring a low-cut neckline that reveals a hint of cleavage. The copper enamel technique used to create the rich pink and colorful details on the dress and the rose in her hand adds an extra layer of sophistication to the painting. With her direct gaze and confident posture, the young woman invites the viewer to connect with her, making her a timeless muse for art lovers and fashion enthusiasts alike. This portrait is a testament to the enduring allure of 18th century fashion and the artistry of the English School. Originally housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, this masterpiece is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and fashion during the modern time.
