Description: | Examination of the painting reveals that the ribbon worn by the woman on her head-dress appears blue, white and red, the colours of the Republic. She would therefore probably have been portrayed at the time of the Revolution and showed, thanks to this accessory, her support of the new regime. The dress she wears confirms that she was probably painted in the 1790s: the large shawl on her shoulders was a common fashion element then, and made all women appear close to the people. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8932... | Go to resource |
