Marie-Jeanne-Baptiste, Duchesse de Savoie

Robert Nanteuil after Laurent Dufour

National Gallery of Art

The portrait depicts a woman's upper torso, including her head and shoulders. She is facing slightly left but looking directly at the viewer. The woman has a round face and a serene expression, with full lips and wide eyes framed by her hair styled in tight curls. She wears an elaborate dress with lace at the neckline and intricate embroidery. A pearl necklace and drop earring adorn her. The woman is encased in an ornate frame with garlands and a crest featuring a crown and coat of arms. The background is intricately designed.
