"Portrait of Lady with Hyacinth" is a pastel on paper by Jean-Étienne Liotard, a Swiss artist known for his pastel portraits. Created in 1750, this work depicts a woman in a blue dress, posed elegantly with a vase of hyacinths, a popular flower during the Rococo era. The delicate pastel strokes capture the sitter's soft features and the subtle details of her attire, exemplifying the graceful style of 18th-century portraiture. The work is now housed in the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Geneva, Switzerland.
