| Description |
English: "This beautiful idealized portrait has been long known as La Comtesse de Beaufort, though her identity needs to be further investigated. The countess stands outdoors against a sunset sky, gently leaning on a high pedestal that supports a classical marble vase. The composition exhibits the typical “Grand Manner” portraiture conventions commonly employed since the Renaissance, but especially widespread in the eighteenth century with the increasing influence of van Dyckian portraits: a landscape backdrop with a low horizon line, the use of classical props (such as columns and sculptures), and the figure in a studied pose of relaxation."
