EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait captures the allure and elegance of a young woman of British origin, painted between 1700 and 1750 by the English School. The oval-shaped canvas, a popular format for miniature portraits during this period, showcases the subject's striking features and direct gaze. She is dressed in the height of fashionable attire, with a bassetaille gown in a rich blue hue and intricate lace detailing. A pearl earring and enamelled pendant adorn her ears, adding a touch of opulence to her appearance. The copper enamel technique, a popular method during the 18th century, is evident in the woman's earrings, which feature intricate enamelie designs. The white, collarless dress, worn over a chemisette, is secured with a ribbon, adding a sense of refinement to the ensemble. The young woman's hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with loose curls framing her face. This portrait is a testament to the fashion trends and artistic styles of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of portraiture in Britain during the 18th century. The direct gaze of the subject invites the viewer to connect with her, making this a captivating and timeless piece. This portrait 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.
