"Portrait of a Young Woman as a Vestal Virgin" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist François-Hubert Drouais (1727–1775). Drouais, renowned for his portraiture, was a prominent painter in the court of King Louis XV of France. This particular work is notable for its depiction of a young woman in the guise of a Vestal Virgin, a priestess of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth in ancient Roman religion.

The painting is a fine example of Drouais's skill in capturing the elegance and grace of his subjects, which often included members of the French nobility. In this portrait, the young woman is adorned in classical attire, reflecting the neoclassical tastes that were becoming increasingly popular in France during the mid-to-late 18th century. The subject's pose and attire evoke the purity and solemnity associated with the Vestal Virgins, who were committed to maintaining the sacred fire of Vesta and were symbols of Rome's safety and prosperity.

The artwork is characterized by its soft color palette and the delicate rendering of the woman's features, which are typical of Drouais's refined style. The use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to the textural details of the fabric and the woman's accessories, demonstrate the artist's adeptness at creating lifelike and sophisticated portraits.

"Portrait of a Young Woman as a Vestal Virgin" reflects the broader cultural fascination with antiquity that was prevalent during the Enlightenment period. It also serves as a testament to Drouais's reputation as a master portraitist, capable of imbuing his subjects with both idealized beauty and individual personality.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in several museums, contributing to the understanding of French portraiture and the representation of women in art during the 18th century. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the cross-cultural influences that shaped European art during this era.
