Portrait of a Little Girl with Powdered Pageboy Hairstyle, 1795 - 1800
About the object
This frontal-view portrait of a young girl with a powdered pageboy hairstyle looks like a painted selfie. The kerchief (a so-called “fichu”), adorned with fine embroidery and the use of pastel tones for the accessories (flower, choker, bow), reflect the fashion for the Directoire style at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries.
