La Salonnierè

The role of the Salonnière in parlors,

between the end of the XVII and the beginning of the XVIII century,

was centred on the fundamental figure of a woman

who had the task to receive guests,

introducing them to conversation and fostering relationships.

The woman that I present you here is inspired by paintings

of that period, where the woman was often

represented from the back…  in front of a mirror
