Mlle. Lavergne

Jean Daullé and Simon Francois Ravenet I after Jean-Étienne Liotard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a young woman depicted from the waist up, seated in a three-quarter view, focusing on a piece of paper she holds with both hands. Her head is slightly tilted downwards as she reads. She has delicate facial features with a serene expression, and her hair is styled up with a ribbon accentuating her curls. She wears an elaborate dress with intricate patterns on the bodice and sleeves, and the fabric is rich with textures and decorative embroidery. A cross necklace is around her neck. She sits against a plain background, and the chair she is sitting on is faintly visible.
