Jean Baptiste Perronneau was one of the most unique portraitists in oil or pastel of the eighteenth century. He worked throughout Europe and Russia, but died a pauper in Holland. One of his most compelling early works is this pastel portrait. In this animated expression of youth, Perronneau used green shading to attain a naturalistic, lively face.
