DescriptionDescription: Alexander Roslin’s success among wealthy Parisian clients was partly due to his skill in capturing the richness of the models’ accessories, such as in this portrait, which probably depicts Madame Deshanges. Roslin painted it the same year that he was elected to the French Academy of Fine Arts, just 18 months after his arrival in Paris.
