拍品专文

It possible that the sitter is Madame de Framery, the subject of numerous drawings in red chalk by Trinquesse. Other sitters for the artist include Louise-Elisabeth Bain and Louise-Charlotte Marini, who share with Madame de Framery the same delicate features, dress and 'English' curls.
It has been suggested that these drawings, which were executed in the mid to late 1770s, are connected to fashion plates. However in the Galeries des Modes et Costumes Français, first published in 1778 and depicting the fashion of the day, there are no plates engraved after Trinquesse.
Similar drawings by Trinquesse were formerly in the Goncourt Collection, Paris (E. Launay, Les Frères Goncourt, collectionneurs de dessins, Paris, 1991, nos. 345-349).
