EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the elegance and allure of Catherine Begon, a woman ahead of her time. Painted in 1746 by Jean-Etienne Liotard, this pastel on vellum print showcases the artist's mastery in capturing delicate details and vibrant colors. Catherine is depicted wearing a Venetian carnival costume, which was all the rage during masquerades at that time. The luxurious satin fabric drapes gracefully around her figure, emphasizing her refined taste and social status as the wife of Geneva merchant Joseph Bou'A'r. Every aspect of Catherine's attire exudes opulence - from her intricately designed hat adorned with feathers to the delicate lace embellishments on her dress. She holds a fan delicately in one hand, adding an air of mystery to her persona. Liotard skillfully brings out Catherine's beauty through his meticulous attention to detail. Her expressive eyes gaze directly at the viewer, captivating them with their intensity and depth. A choker necklace completes her ensemble, adding a touch of sophistication to an already exquisite portrayal. This 18th-century masterpiece not only showcases Liotard's talent but also serves as a window into the fashion trends and societal norms prevalent during that era. It is no wonder that this portrait now resides in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts from around the world with its timeless beauty.
