Charms of the Morning

Französische Grafik 1775–1780, 1777

The image shows a young woman from the waist up, posed in a classic portrait style. She is slightly turned to the right, looking directly at the viewer with a gentle smile. She has a fair complexion, rosy cheeks, and an elaborate updo with curls falling around her shoulders. She is wearing an off-the-shoulder gown with lace details, and one hand is visible holding part of the gown. The background has a blue drapery with ornate patterns, and the portrait is framed in an oval with floral and leaf motifs and round beads.
