EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait, created by Italian artist Vincenza Benzi-Basteris in approximately 1785, showcases a young woman of elegant refinement. The woman is dressed in a fashionable blue and teal gown, adorned with a plumed hat and a ribbon, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the late 18th century. Her direct gaze and confident posture convey a sense of self-assuredness and poise. The painting, executed in gouache on ivory, is a testament to Benzi-Basteris' exceptional skill as a miniature painter. The circular format of the portrait adds to its intimacy and charm, inviting the viewer to closely examine the intricate details of the woman's clothing and accessories. The delicate blue neckline of her dress, the intricate pattern of her hat, and the rich colors of her plume all contribute to the overall allure of this historic work. The portrait is currently housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums dedicated to the preservation and display of historic art. The painting is a valuable addition to the museum's collection, providing a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the late 18th century. Nathalie Lemoine Bouchard, a renowned art historian and curator, has studied and written extensively about Benzi-Basteris and her work. Her research has shed light on the artist's life and career, revealing her as a trailblazer in the world of miniature painting. This portrait is a testament to Benzi-Basteris' artistic talent and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects with remarkable detail and depth.
