Description: | This lady wears a costume of around the time of the French Revolution, when extravagant dresses left their place to simpler clothing, the scarf around the shoulders a sign that women were trying to find a more popular and less aristocratic identity. Danloux paid great attention to rendering fabrics, embroidery and accessories. His treatment of the lady's head-dress, with the lace and ribbon, is particularly well done here. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Danloux, Henri-Pierre (French painter, 1753-1809) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9028... | Go to resource |
