This miniature profile portrait depicts J\u00f3zefina Amalia Potocka, shown in half-length, from the right profile. The woman's hair features backcombed curls, cascading freely onto her neck and shoulders. A delicate hint of pink accentuates her lips, cheek, and chin, subtly enlivening the facial drawing. She is attired in a light-colored gown, its bodice adorned with a white polka-dot pattern. Her shoulders are draped with a light grey shawl featuring a darker, misty pattern. The background is shaded, rendered in shades of grey, with the upper section distinctly lighter. The entire piece was executed in pencil and chalk in a grey palette. The lips, chin, and blush areas were further tinted with pinkish gouache or watercolor. <\/p>

The work is signed at the bottom left, within the oval: \"Gus. Taubert. \/ fecit. Warsovie \/ 1796\". Miniature in an old paper frame with remnants of a gilded border. <\/p>

The identification of the woman depicted in the miniature is unequivocal. Her distinctive facial features, including the shape of her face, eyes, and eyebrows, narrow lips, and, most notably, a prominent, slightly aquiline nose, confirm her as J\u00f3zefina Amalia Potocka n\u00e9e Mniszech (born August 29, 1752, in Krakow, died October 1798, in St. Petersburg). She was an exceptionally colorful figure of her era, engaging in amateur painting and collecting artworks. In 1774, she married Stanis\u0142aw Szcz\u0119sny Potocki. They had eleven children, yet only three are attributed to Stanis\u0142aw Szcz\u0119sny's paternity, as J\u00f3zefina Amalia had numerous lovers. Her likeness is known through a relatively large number of portraits and a sculpture located in the Royal \u0141azienki Park in Warsaw. <\/p>
