Description

Property from a European Private Collection


French School, 18th Century

Portrait of a woman, seated, wearing a copper coloured dress adorned with lace


pastel

650 by 530 mm (sight size)

Sale, London, Sotheby's, 6 July 2023, lot 118

This elegantly dressed woman shares similar stylistic traits with a pastel of An old Lady by the French artist, Claude Bornet (1733-1804), in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, most notably in the handling of the clothes, as well as the slightly coppery colouration employed. 


We are most grateful to Neil Jeffares, who, from a digital image, has suggested the above comparison with the Parisian artist, Claude Bornet.
