Bust of a Young Woman Looking Down

Louis-Marin Bonnet after François Boucher

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a portrait of a person from the waist up. The person is slightly facing left, with their head tilted downwards, eyes looking down, and lips closed. They have delicate facial features, including softly arched brows, long eyelashes, and a faint blush on the cheeks. Their hair is styled in loose curls with small flower adornments. The person is wearing a light-colored garment with a draped neckline and a darker overcoat with a rose flower pinned to it on the left side. The background is a simple, textured gray pattern, framed with a decorative border.
