Costume de Paquita dans la Reine d'Espagne

Eugène Louis Lami

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated in a relaxed position. She is shown from head to toe, with her left arm resting on an armrest and her right hand clutching her skirt. Her head is slightly tilted to the left. She has delicate features, full lips, and styled hair with a decorative headpiece or flowers. She wears an elaborate dress with a large structured bodice, intricate patterns, puffed sleeves, and cascading layers with tassel-like embellishments. A thin, transparent shawl or veil is draped over her shoulders. The background is minimally sketched, and she is positioned against an ornate surface.
