Gradually faded by time, this woman's face seems to emerge from the porcelain like a distant presence. The irregular alteration of the image, particularly visible on the left side of the portrait, gives it an enigmatic character and a unique patina. The composition is surrounded by a molded white border, punctuated by fine decorations now almost entirely erased.
