Jean-Baptiste Isabey painted this portrait of a young woman in 1835. The artist later tweaked her look in 1843, swapping her hair and gown details to match changing fashion. Isabey often worked for royalty. Here he used a gentle stippling method on a simpler subject, a young woman with books and writing tools. Look up the artist Jean-Baptiste Isabey (French, 1767–1855).
