The masquerade, mixed technique, nineteenth century

Beautiful painting representing a woman of the eighteenth century. The scene takes place in a typical interior of the time, recognizable by the louis XV style furniture, armchair and bench. The interior is richly decorated with curtains and a dressing table. The woman is standing, a mask in her hand. This scene represents something very common in painting, the masquerade. This mask represents the role played by the nobility. Indeed, at that time, the nobility was in perpetual representation. Mixed media.
