Derniere heure de la Baronne de Rebecque 1780

"Derniere heure de la Baronne de Rebecque" (1780), by French artist Augustin de Saint-Aubin, portrays a woman in a circular frame. The subject, a woman in the Rococo era, wears an elaborate gown with ruffled trim, a large bonnet, and a flowing veil that covers her shoulders. The artist's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the delicate features of the sitter. This print is a fine example of the Rococo style, a period known for its elegant and playful aesthetics, often characterized by soft curves, intricate designs, and romantic imagery. The work offers a glimpse into the fashions and social customs of the French aristocracy in the late 18th century.
