About this work

This painting depicts a woman dressed in a flowing white and gold gown, adorned with a red velvet cloak draped over her left shoulder. She holds a basket of fruit in her left hand, while her right hand grasps a bunch of grapes. The woman's dark hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a subtle expression. Behind her, a figure in dark attire is visible, although partially obscured. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The fruit basket and grapes in her hands may symbolize abundance and fertility. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artist Largillière, Nicolas de (atelierul).
