Description: | Signed: yes Description: This lady's highly ornate dress suggests she was painted either under the reign of Louis XV or at the beginning of that of Louis XVI. Her head-dress could correspond to the ones worn during the Régence (1715-1722), which are described as very small and hardly covering the top of the head. However, the embellishments of the dress would tend to indicate a later date, as it is very similar to dresses worn by Madame de Pompadour, the king's favourite, who was often painted in the 1750s. The chair shown appears to be in the style of Louis XV furniture. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8940... | Go to resource |
