Le léger vêtement

Juste Chevillet after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin

National Gallery of Art

This image displays a young woman depicted from the waist up within an oval frame. She is seated with her right arm resting on a surface, supporting her head with her hand. Her serene facial expression features delicate features, including a slightly smiling mouth and high-arched eyebrows. Her hair is styled with curls framing her face and decorated with small floral ornaments. She wears a gown with a low neckline and ruffled sleeves, accessorized with a string of beads around her neck. In her left hand, she holds a small bouquet of flowers. The background features a subtle pattern and a cluster of flowers, adding to the portrait's elegant and decorative ambiance.
