An elegant portrait of a French lady, presented half-length against a dark background. The sitter is depicted with powdered hair styled high and adorned with a ribboned hat, wearing a dark red jacket over a teal waistcoat and white ruffled collar. The restrained palette and direct gaze highlight the sitter’s poise and refined bearing, while the fine detailing in costume and facial features reflects the conventions of late 18th-century portraiture. Set within a simple giltwood frame that enhances its period character.
