Portrait of A. P. Levshina 1775

Dmitry Levitzky's "Portrait of A. P. Levshina" (1775) is a striking example of Russian Rococo portraiture. The subject, dressed in a fashionable gown with a lace-trimmed bodice and a sheer overskirt, stands gracefully in an interior setting. Levitzky's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and elegance, highlighting the subject's refined features and the delicate textures of her attire. The painting, notable for its lively composition and subtle psychological nuances, captures the essence of 18th-century aristocratic society in Russia.
