Modeles de coiffures

Jean-François Janinet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows five oval portraits of women from the chest up, each with elaborate hair and headwear styles. The women have different head positions: one frontal view, two in profile to the right, one at a three-quarter angle looking left, and a small center portrait in profile facing left. Each woman has distinct facial features, with soft, rounded cheeks, small mouths, and delicate noses. Their hairstyles are voluminous with intricate curls, adorned with ribbons, flowers, or hats. The women wear high-necked garments with frilled collars or shawls and rich fabric textures. Accessories like ribbons, floral decorations, and hats with feathers enhance their elegance. The background is a plain, light-colored surface with no additional elements, focusing solely on historical fashion.
