FRANCOIS HUBERT DROUAIS. Portrait of a Young Woman as a Vestal Virgin

FRANCOIS HUBERT DROUAIS. Portrait of a Young Woman as a Vestal Virgin. Artist: François Hubert Drouais (French, Paris 1727-1775 Paris). Dimensions: 31 1/2 × 25 1/8 in. (80 × 63.8 cm). Date: 1767.
It was not uncommon to depict portrait sitters in the guise of a vestal virgin: many young women were shown thus when they were about to marry. The vestals were Roman guardians of the hearth and house chosen for their youth and purity; hence the presence of what might have been a table but is instead a brazier. The gold-trimmed robe is not contemporary dress but a costume, and the way in which the young woman lifts the veil is typical for the subject.
