Portret van Antoinette Du Ligier de la Garde Deshoulières 1778 - 1787

This engraving by François Robert Ingouf, created between 1778 and 1787, depicts Antoinette Du Ligier de la Garde Deshoulières, a French poet. The image shows her bust within an oval frame, set against a plain background. The inscription below the portrait provides information about her birth and death. The delicate lines and detailed rendering of her features are characteristic of the Rococo style, popular in the 18th century. This artwork is a valuable record of a prominent literary figure from the French Enlightenment era and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
