A young, beautiful and happy woman, full of dignity and independence, looks at us truthfully and simply. The proud posture seems surprisingly natural, devoid of any coquetry. And only half-opened fan, which she holds in her hand, gives the modest appearance of a young woman a touch of easy playfulness.
The calm glow of the velvet eyes and a barely perceptible smile complete this cute face. The dark velvet of the dress gently contrasts with warm, golden skin, with a scarlet shawl and a red back of the chair. From the brown background of the picture stands a graceful head with smoothly combed brown hair.
The portrait of Madame Devos is considered the most captivating portrait of Engra’s brush.
