Physical Description

This half-length pastel portrait depicts a woman looking directly out of the portrait with her body turned slightly toward her right. She wears an elaborate diaphanous collar with lace fringes that is tied at the neck with a pink ribbon and a dress made of luxurious fabrics. While the face of the sitter is smooth and idealized, her clothing is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and texture.
