A Fashionable Noblewoman Wearing a Plumed Hat

Französische Grafik 1788–1793, ca. 1789

This drawing shows a portrait of a woman from the chest up. The woman is looking at us, her body slightly turned to the left. She has fair skin with pink cheeks, dark eyebrows, round, green-gray eyes, and pink lips set in as slight smile. Her hair is light, styled in voluminous curls and topped by a large gray hat set at an angle, with blue ribbons on the left and large blue feathers on the right. She wears a blue-and-white dress with a puffy white neckline, with a bunch of flowers seemingly attached to her dress on the left in shades of pink, blue, and white, surrounded by gray leaves. The background is a soft blue color with hints of gray on the left and right. The drawing is oval shaped.
