Young Woman with a Rose

Gilles Demarteau, the Elder after François Boucher

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a partial portrait of a person with delicate facial features, softly arched eyebrows, a small smile, and eyes that are partially closed. They have styled hair with loose curls framing their face, adorned with a rose on the right side. The person is wearing a draped garment with a low neckline, and a rose is placed at the center of their chest. An earring hanging from the left ear is visible. The background features a textured surface with a neutral tone, enclosed within an ornamental border framing the portrait.
