Portret van Judith d'Aussonne-Beseraige 1716

This 1716 engraving by an anonymous artist depicts Judith d'Aussonne-Beseraige, a prominent figure in the history of French art. The portrait, which is a small, intimate format, features Judith holding a cup in her right hand. Her attire, a delicate lace cap and an elegant gown, suggest a woman of refinement and social standing. The use of an oval frame, a common practice during the Baroque era, provides a timeless and elegant context for the portrait.
