Portrait of Geneviève Rinteau de Verrières (1761, modified 1770s). François-Hubert Drouais (French, 1727-1775). Oil on canvas.Geneviève and her sister Marie enjoyed a brief moment of success in music and theatre and long careers as cultured courtesans, known as “les demoiselles de Verrières.” The Met pointed out that originally their hair was dressed close to the head, and concluded that Drouais or another painter modified the portraits to show the towering coiffures that were in style about 1775. -- source link
