This etching, "Portrait of Marguerite Le Comte," created in 1764 by Claude Henri Watelet, depicts a woman seated in a chair, her gaze directed towards the viewer. The sitter is elegantly dressed in a flowing gown and positioned in an oval frame, a popular artistic choice during the 18th century. Watelet was known for his engravings and this work exemplifies the Rococo style, characterized by its delicate lines, graceful curves, and emphasis on beauty and elegance. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is home to this exquisite piece.
