This charming portrait of a young child embodies all the delicacy and sensitivity characteristic of the works inspired by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, great master of portraiture in the 18th century. The model, with a gaze both soft and assured, is captured in a subtle light that makes the complexions vibrate and highlights the richness of the fabrics. The dark background, deliberately neutral, exalts the freshness of the face and gives the whole a great elegance. The artist, clearly trained in the wake of Greuze, demonstrates a perfect mastery of modeling, the play of light and the psychology of portraiture. This painting embodies all the refinement of the era, combining childlike grace and nobility of attitude. A touching work, ideal for lovers of Enlightenment portraits, combining charm, finesse, and history.
