Maurice Quentin de La Tour created the pastel portrait with the vivid characterization that made him the most sought-after portraitist in 18th-century France. The sitter's personality emerges with notable immediacy.
La Tour's pastels captured French society with psychological acuity. This work is at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
