EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait, created between 1725 and 1750 by the English School, captures the essence of youthful beauty and elegance. The young woman, dressed in the latest fashion of the time, dons a circular, oval-shaped dress adorned with intricate enamel decorations in copper, ruby, and other metals. The dress, known as a bassetaille, was a popular style during this period, featuring a low waistline and full skirt. The young woman gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and alluring expression, her cleavage subtly revealed by the low-cut neckline of her dress. The portrait is a testament to the artistic skill and innovation of the English School during the eighteenth century. This miniature painting, with its round shape and detailed enamel technique, was a common form of portraiture during this time, often commissioned as keepsakes or mementos. Today, it is housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, and a valuable addition to the heritage of European art. The young woman's timeless beauty and the artistry of the English School continue to captivate and inspire us in modern times, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and art of the 18th century.
