"this miniature represents the bust portrait of a young blonde woman dressed in a low-cut gray and white dress and wearing a gray triangular veil; this costume is related to half-mourning, a period during which muted tones (white, gray, brown) replaced the black of deep mourning. The hairstyle worn by the model as well as the costume refer to the middle of the 17th century, which could indicate that this miniature is a copy of a non-preserved work from the middle of the 17th century, identified as a work by a famous enamelist, jean petitot, protégé of louis xiv. ". Date: after a work of 17th century. Dimensions: diameter: 3 cm (1.1 in). Medium: gold, metal, miniature on enamel. Collection: Musée Cognacq-Jay. Portrait de femme, J763(1)
