Mademoiselle Grogniard, Dame de Saint-Just

Charles-Nicolas Cochin II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman seated in a semi-profile position from the waist up. She has a round face with delicate features, soft expression, and lightly closed lips. Her hair is styled voluminously with curls and adorned with flowers. She wears a dress with ruffles around the neckline and cuffs, hinting at a historical style. Her right arm rests on her lap, and a bracelet is seen on her hand. The background is plain and textured.
