Portrait of Marie-Louise Joubert, née Poulletier de Perigny is a 1794 oil by François-Xavier Fabre, a Rococo painting work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This portrait depicts a woman with long, dark hair adorned with a wreath of green leaves and flowers. She wears a purple dress with a white, ruffled bodice and a yellow sash around her waist. Her arms are crossed, and she sits in a chair, possibly outdoors, as indicated by the presence of a tree trunk behind her. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the use of chiaroscuro in his works.
