EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait depicts a young woman of great beauty and elegance, captured by the English School between 1725 and 1750. The young woman wears a fashionable bassetaille dress, a style popular during this period, which features a low neckline and a full, voluminous skirt. The dress is adorned with intricate copper enamel ornaments, adding an extra layer of opulence and sophistication to her attire. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, held in place by a large, enamelled pendant and adorned with delicate strands of pearls. The young woman gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and self-assured expression, her piercing blue eyes reflecting the light in the room. This oval-shaped painting, with its rich colors and meticulous details, is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the English School during the 18th century. The portrait is now part of the esteemed collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the heritage of European art.
