Baroness Maria Sofia Juliana Von Blixen
1768 - 1786
Gustaf Lundberg captures the height of 18th-century Rococo fashion in this delicate portrait of Baroness Maria Sofia Juliana Von Blixen. She sports a towering, powdered wig adorned with ribbons and a frilly blue gown that screams aristocratic elegance. Lundberg, a Swedish master who spent years studying in Paris, was famous for his pastel portraits, and you can see why—the soft, powdery texture gives her skin a luminous, almost glowing quality. Her gentle, knowing smile hints at the relaxed charm that was all the rage in high society circles of the era.
