Inspired by the painting 'Portrait of Marie Josèphe van Saksen (1731-67), dauphine of France Jean Etienne Liotard was a pastel painter, which demanded I use a specific colour pallet in my translation of this original portrait. In the painting the pale complexion and light hair of Marie Josephe van Saksen stood out to me and influenced my decision to use Anke as a model. Anke has albinism and she stands out in our society with her pale complexion and light hair. This modern twist on the original is what makes it relevant to current society where a lot of emphasis is placed on acceptance. Now more than ever is the time to accept everybody regardless of race, sex or physical appearance.
