His work is characterized by a blend of Rococo and Neoclassical styles, with an emphasis on grace, elegance, and idealized beauty.
Observations
Across all four renders, the style uses richly textured, visibly worked paint to depict expressive figures in formal historical clothing. Dark backgrounds and strong light on faces create a subdued, moody palette with pronounced contrast, while lace, hats, wigs, flowers, and layered fabrics provide ornamental detail.
