Jacques-Louis Copia after Jean-Baptiste Mallet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures. The first person is reclining, facing frontally, propped up on their forearms with a slight smile on their face. They have curly hair adorned with a large hat topped with feathers and are dressed in elegant layers of fabric. The individual holds a small bouquet of flowers in one hand. The second person is behind the first, peering out from behind a curtain, with their facial features partly in shadow. The backdrop features a window with a hanging shade pulled partially down and a decorative urn with flowers on a ledge. Draped fabric and detailed elements suggest an ornate and richly furnished room.
