This all time Zoffany classic has been repainted in a relaxed watercolour style. A hand drawn interpretation of an original document, its influences are thought to come from a late 19th century French artwork, painted to emulate earlier (17th to early 18th century) woven and embroidered textiles. Quirky and uplifting, Baroque-style scrolling foliage and stylised flowers give an overall effect that is rather grand, hence the name Pompadour.
