A Young Lady with a Parrot
Rosalba Carriera, c. 1730
Rosalba Carriera, or simply Rosalba, as she was known, was a shrewd judge of character; she enhanced but never obscured the appearance of her sitters. This pastel may depict a young Englishwoman, perhaps one of the daughters of Lord Manchester. Whoever the model, this image’s aura of grace and seduction would characterize the arts of much of the 18th century, marking Rosalba as one of the originators of the Rococo style in Italy and France.
