PUGET, Pierre: Portrait of the Artist’s Mother

🖼 Portrait of the Artist’s Mother, 1651-55
Oil on canvas
60 × 50 cm

Soft brushwork captures an elderly woman's dignified gaze, rendered in warm ochres and shadows against a muted background. Puget's intimate portrayal reveals 17th-century French portraiture's psychological depth, elevating domestic subject matter to fine art significance.
