Augustin de Saint-Aubin's "Portrait of Madame de Pompadour (Madame Le Normant d'Estiolles)" (1764) is a delicate and finely detailed engraving that showcases the renowned mistress of King Louis XV. Presented in an oval frame adorned with a bow, the portrait depicts Madame de Pompadour in profile, her elegant attire and coiffed hair reflecting the fashion of the Rococo era. This work, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to Saint-Aubin's mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects.
