My dress is almost complete, it only needs some little details (the embroidered sleeves, my hair properly styled) but I was making some tests today and it really looks good already. I'm so so happy!

Bust Portrait of Louis XV

Title: Bust Portrait of Louis XV

Artist: Maurice-Quentin Delator

Date: 1748

Movement: French Rococo

Medium: Pastel on grey-blue paper, glued onto stretched canvas

Genre: Bust Portrait

Pastel had been used by artists as early as the 15th century. However, it’s use as a proper medium took off in the Baroque and Rococo era and it was used in more mainstream portraits and works. In fact, if you look closely on the arms, you are able to see the hatching on the shine.

Looking at the character of the painting, it is hard not to see the use of the little iris. This symbol was very popular with French Monarch, and for a long time it was a symbol of French nobility and France itself.
