Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1767-1855), Follower of - Ritratto di nobildonna con cappello

Young lady from the late 18th century, a work attributed to an artist inspired by Élisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun or Jean-Baptiste Isabey, undisputed master of aristocratic portraiture of the era.

The young woman, of noble elegance, is depicted wearing a blue-green silk dress with a delicate neckline adorned with lace, embellished by a central brooch. Her face, with a luminous and smooth complexion, gracefully reflects the neoclassical taste for idealized beauty, while the softness of her brown curls and the large hat decorated with a turquoise ribbon evoke the style and refinement of female portraits from the court of Marie Antoinette.

The brushstroke is fine, controlled, and at the same time vibrant, revealing the hand of an artist of great sensitivity and technical skill, capable of infusing life and character into a miniature of extraordinary expressive intensity.

The work is enclosed in a sumptuous contemporary frame made of carved and gilded leaf wood, featuring shell and scroll motifs, mounted on a crimson red velvet mat that enhances the chromatic richness and delicacy of the portrait.

A small masterpiece of grace and luminosity, worthy of the finest tradition of French female portraiture from the late eighteenth century, characterized by elegant and refined sensitivity that marked court painting of the period.
