Female portrait circa about 1690s by French Painter Nicolas de Largillierre (1656 – 1746), portriatist and draftsperson
This is a beautiful portrait of a lovely young lady in period dress, standing in a wooded area which may be a forest or a large garden, possibly in the fall as evening approaches.
In the background we can see some green illumination, just off the left side of her face where we see green and yellow trees, as well as some orange trees.
On her right are severay more trees of similar color to the ones on her right as well as a large red tree; and these help frame her in the piece.
Hir Hoer sinn e gro-wäiss mat grousse bloe Bänner, déi awer gewebt sinn an et fléisst op hir riets Schëller an hannert hir.
Si huet eng Spëtzekleeder ruffled wäiss Blouse un, en orange bestickte Kleed an eng blo Jackett mat enger platinfaarweger Bannenfutter, déi déi platinfaarweg Ärmelen ergänzt, déi mat Blummenmuster an orange verschéinert sinn, wäiss a schwaarz.
