This painting shows a woman's profile with a pronounced nose and curly hair. She looks relaxed, with a calm face. The artist paid close attention to details like her hair and clothing. The woman's hair is styled in intricate curls, and her collar is draped neatly. This suggests the artist was skilled at portraying elegance. The portrait also gives us a glimpse of what people wore in the late 18th century. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
