Sa taille est ravissante

Pierre Adrien Le Beau after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin

National Gallery of Art

The woman in the image is pictured from the waist up, turned slightly to the side while facing the viewer. She is applying powder to her upper chest using a powder puff and a nearby mirror on a table. She has a gentle expression with defined facial features and styled hair topped with a ribbon or bow. Her attire includes an elaborate gown with off-the-shoulder puffed sleeves, emphasizing her waist, and accessorized with lace and frills. She wears a choker necklace and holds the powder puff in her right hand. The table is cluttered with grooming items such as bottles and a covered container. The background shows draped fabric and a floral detailed chair. The scene is enclosed within a decorative circular frame against a plain backdrop.
