Title: Portrait of a Lady [Go to resource]
Description: The sitter's hairstyle, as well as her dress, help dating this portrait from about 1700-1725. She wears earrings, a very common occurrence for women of her time, who had their ears pierced at a very early age. This practice was supposed to avert eye diseases. It was also a way to anticipate the blood loss of puberty. Subjects: portrait Source: Vads Creator: Artist: French School Æ Identifier: http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8924...
