The Comtesse

Jean-Marc Nattier (1685-1766) was a French Rococo artist known for a series of portraits of women from the court of Louis XV. Despite achieving enormous popularity during his lifetime he is not widely known today.

His exquisite brushwork and sensitive skin tones led to accusations by his contemporaries of painting with makeup rather than paint. Nattier lives on in the name of a shade of slate-blue that he used in a number of his paintings, most notably a portrait of The Comtesse de Tillières (1750), nicknamed “The Lady in Blue.”

The Comtesse ghost has been made in “Nattier” blue and has a face veil in puce.
