Baronne de Crussol Florensac

1785
Not on view
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.
The baronne de Crussol Florensac turns to gaze at the viewer over her shoulder. She holds a musical score and wears a splendid red costume with a deep black velvet collar and a matching hat. Little is known of this woman of great beauty, elegance, and distinction. The support, a wood panel, contributes to the lustrous surface of the picture.
