About Artwork: (About 1760) "A young woman wearing a blue silk cape is shown half-length looking out of a stone window. Her fashionably powdered hairstyle was known as the ‘tête de mouton’ (’sheep’s head') and was popular in France in the 1750s. She rests her left arm on a piece of light beige cloth draped over the stone ledge to protect her from its chill. The intricate details and folds of her elaborate cutwork lace cuffs are particularly beautifully observed. The unusual pose of the woman at a stone window may have been influenced by Rembrandt’s Girl at a Window (Dulwich Picture Gallery, London), which was in Paris during the eighteenth century until the late 1770s. The lady may be Geneviève-Charlotte-Agnès Savalette, who became marquise de Gléon on her marriage in 1748. She was a writer and actress in amateur theatricals." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
