Сaroline of Hesse Darmstadt with her Moors 1750

Antoine Pesne’s 1750 portrait *Caroline of Hesse Darmstadt with her Moors* depicts the noblewoman in a luxurious dress and jewelry with two Black attendants behind her. The scene highlights the status and wealth of the sitter, a common subject for portraiture in the 18th century. The painting's rich colors and detailed brushwork exemplify Pesne's refined style, which was influenced by the courtly art of his time.
