Marguerite-Marie Lagnier, ten years old 1796

"Marguerite-Marie Lagnier, ten years old" is an oil-on-canvas portrait by French artist Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, painted in 1796. The painting depicts a young girl, Marguerite-Marie Lagnier, in a simple white dress and a brown sash. Her pose is relaxed, and she appears to be engaged in a domestic task. Prud'hon, a prominent figure in the Neoclassical movement, captured the young girl's innocence and grace in a refined, sensitive style that was typical of his work. The painting is considered a fine example of Prud'hon's skill in portraiture, and it showcases his ability to convey a sense of naturalism and emotional depth.
