The Chocolate Girl by Jean-Étienne Liotard

A young servant carries a tray with a cup of hot chocolate and a glass of water, walking carefully. Jean-Étienne Liotard drew her around 1744 in pastel on parchment.

Americans know her well: since the 1880s she has been the logo of Baker’s Chocolate. Look at the reflection of a window in the glass of water.
