Madame de Gillier

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving featuring a woman's portrait from the torso upwards, enclosed in an oval frame. She is facing the viewer with her gaze slightly to the left. She has a composed expression, arched eyebrows, and full lips. Her hair is styled in loose curls falling over her shoulders, partly pulled back. She wears a low-cut garment with ruffled edges and delicate details, fastened with a floral brooch at the neckline. She has a pearl necklace and an earring on one ear. The background features cross-hatching patterns, highlighting the vintage style of the illustration and the ornate border surrounding the portrait.
