The Chevalier d’Éon: Portrait with Lace Headdress
An oval portrait shows the Chevalier d’Éon wearing an elaborate lace headdress and a dark band at the neck. A large bow and star-shaped order badge decorate the clothing below. The portrait is reproduced in The Science of Sex Regeneration. Fine tonal modelling gives the face and lace a delicate texture against the dark oval background.
