Portrait of a Young Woman Wearing a Lace Bonnet, 1805 - 1815
About the object
A cloud of transparent white and pink layers of fabric surrounds the young woman's face and neckline. In contrast, the black Empire-style silhouette is restrained. The colour contrast of the fabrics is reflected in her dark hair and delicate complexion. Her gaze, emanating from her brown eyes, is inscrutable.
