Artist
Marie-Thérèse de Noireterre
Marie-Thérèse de Noireterre is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Nationalmuseum.
Marie-Thérèse de Noireterre painted tiny ivory portraits in the late 1700s. Her 1795 Self-Portrait in Green Dress shows a woman in a softly lit green gown, the kind of delicate likeness meant for a pocket or a locket. These miniature portraits were the social-media snapshots of their day, small enough to carry, big enough to show off status.
Look closer at the tiny brushwork and the way the green dress seems to glow against the ivory. Next, tap the green dress itself to zoom into every painted fold.
