A Larger Version On This Piece Is Available At My Pictorem Shop.
This is a beautiful and elegant lavish portrait of Comtesse d'Egmont Pignatelli (1740 - 1773); the daughter of the Duc de Richelieu (1696 - 1788), who was a trusted advisor to King Louis XV; that at the age of fifteen married Casimir Pignatelli, Comte d'Egmont (1727 - 1801); a scion of the Egmonts of the Netherlands and the Pignatellis of Naples and Aragon; two ancient houses of European nobility.
She was a highly intelligent and one of the most glamorous women of Parisian Society in the 1760s, and was a sponsor of many of the leading artist of the Enlightenment including the likes of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
She is depicted in a fashionable white silk Spanish gown (which references her husband's ancestry), sitting in a large golden chair with her left arm resting on a large golden pillow with silver embroidery, while holding an open book with right hand.
She as string pearls throughout her hair, a three layer pearl choker and a matching three layer necklace; with matching teardrop and orb earrings.
Over her dress and attached to the front of the dress are more body length string pearls as well as pearls tied off at the upper arms, forearms and pearl bracelets.
Beside her is a Spanish guitar with sheet music, that is she was quite accomplished at playing, with a silk blue and white ribbon tied to the top of the guitar and hanging over the neck of the instrument.
To her right on the wall painted into the ceiling are two classical figures in a forest; below that is a painting hanging on the wall of a maritime scene and below that a relief in the walls lower section.
Beside this wall is a balcony that looks out over a large garden with trees; and behind the arm chair she is seated in is a large decorative marble column on her right and a stone column that makes up part of a green marble wall with a circular ring and disc on it.
By her left arm is a beautifully ornate gold inlaid wooden table that has another string of pearls resting a white cloth with a blue strip by a white and red carnation; near a blue vase with a brass base and rim that contains a bouquet of flowers that includes a variety of roses and other plants.
At her feet near the table is a small black and white dog with its lifted left paw, looking up at her trying to get her attention.
