Madame Bouthillier

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a waist-up portrait of a woman facing the viewer. She is slightly turned to her right, has a solemn expression, and wavy hair falling around her cheeks. She wears a small cap and clothing with noticeable texture. The woman is framed in an ornate oval frame with leaf and ribbon designs. The background includes an architectural element with a heraldic shield and decorative embellishments underneath the frame.
