Rococo style oil painting. striking woman in a period costume, suggestive of the 18th century due to her elaborate powdered wig and dress. Her wig is exceptionally large and adorned with numerous large pink and cream roses, interspersed with small sprigs of blue flowers and draped pearls. Her face is painted with dramatic makeup, featuring winged eyeliner and full, glossy lips, worn with her eyes closed as if in contemplation. She is adorned with multiple strands of large pearls around her neck and matching pearl drop earrings, and pearl bracelets on her wrists. Her dress is a rich cream color with delicate lace trim along the neckline and sleeves, featuring pink ribbon details and bows. She holds an open, lacy white fan in her right hand. To her left, two lit candles flicker in a bronze holder, hinting at indoor lighting, while a profusion of roses, similar to those in her wig, are visible behind her, likely part of a floral arrangement or wallpaper. The background is a muted blue-green color, acting as a calm contrast to the vibrant details of the subject. The overall atmosphere is one of opulent elegance and historical portraiture, with a mood of quiet contemplation or perhaps a moment of repose before receiving attention.
