Artist, French, 1748 - 1797

The image shows a seated woman on an ornate sofa, with her body turned slightly to the side and legs partially visible, with one leg raised. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, and she has delicate facial features. She is dressed in a flowing garment that drapes over her shoulders and legs. Across from her, another woman is kneeling on the floor, with her upper body turned towards the seated woman. This second woman has voluminous hair styled away from her face and wears a full-length dress with puffed sleeves and a fitted bodice. Both women seem to be interacting closely. The setting is richly decorated, with heavy drapery curtains hanging in the background, enclosing the scene. There is also an ornate side table with a pitcher and a glass next to the kneeling woman. The entire scene is framed by a circular border adorned with a leaf motif, and the background outside of this circular frame is plain and textural.
