Portrait of a young woman in an gilt oval frame, pastel drawing, 18th century

Portrait of a Young Woman, pastel drawing, presented in its original oval frame protected by glass, 18th century

Delightful portrait of a young noblewoman in the fashion of the late 18th century, with a pretty bodice and a ribbon bow around her neck.

She also wears a flower and pearls in her gray hair, gathered into a bun as was customary for Court courtesans.
She has a beautiful gaze, and fixes the viewer with her blue eyes with an air of benevolence, amusement and great gentleness.

A graceful and very pleasing painting: ideal as a gift for a young woman, to be displayed in a dressing room or inserted into a portrait gallery.
