The portrait was made in 1785 as a pendant of the prince in the uniform of the Guard de Corps, the duchess was then 33 years old. She is dressed in a blue English-style gown - fitted to the waist and trimmed with lace, with narrow elbow-length sleeves. The plunging neckline covers a thin gauze scarf. Her dress and hairstyle follow Marie Antoinette's Parisian style, her toilet is elegant but not frivolous. The condition of the dress is emphasized by a pink silk bow, also adorning the hat next to small flowers, ostrich feather and egret. The white gloves are made of fine leather. The Duchess holds a fan in one hand and rests on an umbrella with the other - her attitude shows self-control and self-confidence. A gray wig with intricately arranged curls surrounds her gentle face, an intelligent and penetrating gaze draws attention. Goya does not correct the shortcomings of her beauty - too long nose or narrow mouth [1] [6]. Goya emphasized details using light brush strokes, and he obtained gentle transitions of color tones by glaze [1].
