Jusques dans la moindre chose

Louis-Joseph Masquelier after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman from the knees up, positioned on a bench with her body slightly turned to her left and her head inclined forward. Her facial features are serene, complemented by an elaborate headscarf or bonnet. She wears a long dress with ruffled details. The woman holds a small object in her hands above an open book in her lap. Surrounding her are potted plants with blooming flowers. The background features dense foliage, all encased within an ornate oval frame.
