Portrait of a Woman 1696

"Portrait of a Woman" is an oil painting by Nicolas de Largillière, a prominent French portrait painter of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The work, completed in 1696, features a woman in a lavish, pink gown, her hand delicately outstretched towards a flowing fountain. A vibrant green parrot perches on a nearby ledge, while a servant stands behind her. The painting, likely depicting a member of French aristocracy, exemplifies Largillière’s mastery of Baroque portraiture, capturing the elegance and opulence of the period.
