Curator’s note

Madame Jean-Baptiste Nicolet (Anne Antoinette Desmoulins, 1743–1817)

A portrait of a woman by Greuze, prized for his sensitive rendering of feeling and character. The sitter's natural, warm expression creates an intimate impression, while the soft light and delicate flesh tones reveal the artist's tender touch.
