J. Curtis

National Gallery of Art

The image features a portrait of a woman facing forward with her head slightly turned to the right. She has fair skin, soft facial features, and elaborately styled hair with feathers and a headdress. She wears typical 18th-century noblewoman attire with a high-collared blouse, lace ruffle, richly decorated bodice, pearls around her neck, and drop earrings. The background includes an oval frame with a patterned design and text identifying the subject as Marie Antoinette, with her title and birth details.
