Madame Thorigny, after Painting by Nicolas de Largillierre

Prolethic French artist Nicolas de Largilliere grew up in Antwerp, then as a young man, he gravitated to England and became the assistant to Sir Peter Lely. There, combining his early Flemish training with English portraiture, Largillierre imparted sinuous curves, warm hues, and broad, thick brushstrokes, that gave his paintings remarkable dynamism.
