"La Belle Chocolatière," also known as "The Chocolate Girl," is a celebrated pastel painting by the Swiss artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, created around 1743-1745. This exquisite work is renowned for its delicate execution and the artist's masterful use of pastels, which was a relatively novel medium at the time. The painting depicts a young maidservant carrying a tray with a porcelain cup of hot chocolate, a luxury beverage in 18th-century Europe. The subject is dressed in a simple yet elegant attire, consisting of a white bonnet, a yellow bodice, and a pink skirt, which contrasts beautifully with the muted background.

Liotard's attention to detail and his ability to capture the textures of different materials, such as the sheen of the porcelain and the softness of the maid's clothing, are particularly noteworthy. The painting is often praised for its lifelike quality and the serene, almost contemplative expression of the maid, which adds a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the scene. The composition is both balanced and dynamic, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure while also inviting them to appreciate the finer details.

"La Belle Chocolatière" is housed in the Dresden State Art Collections (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden) in Germany, where it continues to be a highlight for visitors and art historians alike. The painting not only exemplifies Liotard's skill as a portraitist but also offers a glimpse into the social customs and material culture of the 18th century. It remains one of Liotard's most famous works and a quintessential example of Rococo portraiture, celebrated for its elegance, technical proficiency, and the subtle charm of its subject.
