EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait captures the enchanting likeness of a young woman, believed to be of British origin, between the years 1700 and 1750. The English School painting is a testament to the elegance and refinement of the era, with the subject dressed in the height of fashion. Her clothing features a bassetaille, a popular style of the time characterized by a full, voluminous skirt, and a low-cut, oval-shaped neckline. Her brunette hair is styled in intricate curls and adorned with a pendant necklace, adding to her allure. The artist's masterful use of the copperplate enamel technique is evident in the rich detail of the painting. The direct gaze of the young woman as she looks out at modern times with a sense of confidence and composure is captivating. The metal technique, also known as enamelie or enamelled, adds a unique depth and texture to the portrait, making it a true masterpiece of heritage art. This portrait is a treasure of the eighteenth century, showcasing the fashion and beauty ideals of the time. It is currently housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and fashion. The young woman's timeless beauty and the intricacies of the painting continue to captivate viewers, making it a muse and an inspiration for generations to come.
