Follower of François de TROY (1645–1730) Portrait of a Woman in a Blue Dress Oil on canvas, oval format H_88 cm W_49 cm Restorations Relined Our beautiful portrait of a woman evokes the style of François de Troy, particularly through the richness of the drapery and the finesse with which the subject’s psychology is captured. François de Troy ranks among the most important French portraitists of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Alongside Hyacinthe Rigaud and Nicolas de Largillière, he contributed to the renewal of court portraiture, combining the splendor of the fabrics with the refinement of the depiction.
