Specialist note

A close collaborator of François Boucher, Saint-Quentin still remains little known today in spite of long career started in 1762, when he was awarded the prix d'Italie. Proudly signed, this large portrait was executed by blending the characteristic technique aux trois crayons with touches of blue pastel to highlight the ribbon tied to the curls of the young girl.
