18th Century Pastel Of A Young Woman In A Gilded Frame

We present here a delightful 18th-century pastel, depicting a young woman of quality, adorned with a delicate pearl set and elegantly coiffed, in the refined taste of the Louis XV period. The work seduces with the freshness of its execution, the finesse of the model's features and the particular care given to the materials, notably the vaporous transparency of the fabric and the satiny luster of the pearl. The face, of great softness, perfectly embodies the aesthetic of the Age of Enlightenment, where the search for natural grace is combined with great technical mastery. The hairstyle adorned with flowers reinforces the impression of delicacy and elegance. Pastel in very good condition.
