Have you seen this portrait in person? I do not remember seeing it when I was there, but I just adore it and am putting it on my ever growing list of must-sees!
Here is a more famous work, by Boucher. Same Madame Bergeret? She certainly had good taste in artists!

I have seen the portrait of Madame Bergeret de Norinval many times it has a very elaborate carved frame. If I'm not mistaken it is in the room that displays the French Louis XVI bed. I have photo's of the portrait and frame and will be doing a post on the Musee Cognacq-Jay very soon.
