This self-portrait was painted for Charles Claude Flahaut de La Billarderie, comte d'Angiviller, director of the king's buildings.
Seized during the French Revolution, the work is now housed in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
The very affectionate embrace between mother and daughter is perfectly faithful to the original work, and from a technical point of view, the colors, shading and finesse of the line are remarkable.
