Portrait of a woman to right 1786 - 1793

This 18th century print by Gilles Louis Chrétien, a prominent French artist, depicts a woman's profile portrait. The sitter is shown in a simple dress with her hair elaborately styled, emphasizing the elegance and fashion trends of the period. This print, framed in a circular oval, demonstrates the artist's skill in creating a delicate and refined portrait within a small format. Chrétien's work is notable for its detailed rendering and graceful lines, typical of the neoclassical style popular in late 18th-century France. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this print, a testament to its artistic significance.
