Portrait présumé de Mme de Mailly 1730 - 1740

This portrait, painted between 1730 and 1740, is attributed to the French painter Jean-Marc Nattier, who was known for his elegant portraits of the French court during the Rococo period. The painting depicts a woman, likely a noblewoman, in a dramatic and idealized pose. She is dressed in a flowing white gown and a blue drapery that resembles a cloak. The woman's graceful posture and the presence of an eagle, a symbol of power, create a sense of grandeur and nobility. The portrait exemplifies Nattier's signature style of blending classical mythology with contemporary fashion, creating a visually captivating and historically significant work.
