The painting reflects the portrait style of Jacopo Amigoni, who combined Rococo grace with expressive intensity. The young woman, shown in a direct pose, reveals a vigorous face rendered with soft chromatic blends that enhance her complexion and crystallize her suspended elegance. The ermine, jewels, and floral bouquet emphasize her princely status and festive tone. The work belongs to the phase that secured Amigoni’s international fame between London, Paris, and Madrid, where in 1747 he was appointed primer pintor de cámara to Ferdinand VI. A close friend of the celebrated Farinelli, who promoted his career, Amigoni established himself among the leading interpreters of eighteenth-century European portraiture, alongside Rosalba Carriera and Bartolomeo Nazzari. This portrait, marked by chromatic delicacy and striking immediacy, confirms Amigoni’s stature as a refined and cosmopolitan master of the Rococo.
