Miniature on ivory. "mademoiselle raucourt is represented here in the maturity of her 34 years, her hair powdered and adorned with a crown of forget-me-nots, symbolic flowers usually called "ne m'oublies pas". She is dressed in a white gathered dress, with a round and braided neckline, fashionable at the time, adorned with a showy belt, decorated with large cabochons, colored stones and pearls. It could be an element of the stage costume that she wore in longepierre's "médée", a role in which she triumphed, or perhaps it is just a fashionable accessory".
