Portrait Old Master, Joseph Vivien, Mme Silvestre, French Rococo, Pastel

circa 1700

About the Item

The portrait shows Mme Silvestre. Born in Paris, Silvestre was the daughter of Charles-Antoine Hérault and his wife Marie-Geneviève, who were her first teachers. In 1706 she married the painter Louis de Silvestre, moving with him in 1716 to Dresden. The couple's daughter Marie-Maximilienne became a pastellist. Silvestre died in Dresden, the year before her husband retired and returned to Paris. Her surviving pastels show the influence of Rosalba Carriera. This impressive portrait is by Joseph Vivien. Neil Jeffares confirmed the attribution in his entry pastellists (under no J.77.314). The painting comes from a Noble Private German Collection.
