Bust of a Woman

c. 1771

Louis-Marin Bonnet (French, 1736-1793) after François Boucher (French, 1703-1770)

France

This charming image is thought to represent François Boucher's elder daughter, Jeanne Elisabeth Victoire, who married the great painter's favorite pupil, Jean Baptiste Deshays, an accomplished artist in his own right.
