"Portrait of the Singer Pierre de Jelyotte (1713-97) in Female Costume, c.1745" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Charles-Antoine Coypel. This work is a notable example of portraiture from the Rococo period, which captures the French tenor Pierre de Jelyotte dressed in female theatrical costume. The painting is significant for its depiction of gender roles in the context of 18th-century opera and theatre, as well as for its representation of a celebrated performer of the time.

Charles-Antoine Coypel (1694-1752) was a prominent French painter and the official painter to the court of King Louis XV. He was also appointed as the director of the French Academy in Rome and later became the First Painter to the King. Coypel was known for his history paintings, portraits, and works depicting scenes from plays, which often featured members of the French nobility and cultural elite.

In this portrait, Coypel captures Pierre de Jelyotte, a renowned opera singer of the French Baroque era, known for his powerful voice and his roles in the operas of Jean-Philippe Rameau. The painting is particularly interesting because it shows Jelyotte in costume for a role that required him to perform en travesti—a theatrical practice where a performer appears in the clothing of the opposite sex. This was a common convention in Baroque opera, where male singers would sometimes take on female roles, and vice versa.

The artwork is characterized by its rich color palette, attention to the textures of fabrics, and the detailed rendering of Jelyotte's costume and expression. Coypel's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and the sumptuousness of the attire. The painting not only serves as a testament to Jelyotte's fame and talent but also provides insight into the visual and cultural aspects of theatrical performance during the period.

"Portrait of the Singer Pierre de Jelyotte (1713-97) in Female Costume, c.1745" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a valuable document of the social and cultural history of 18th-century France. It remains an important work for scholars studying the period's music, theatre, and gender representation, as well as for those interested in the broader history of European art.
