"Caroline Rivière" is a portrait painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1806. The work is a striking example of Ingres' early portraiture, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the delicate features and personality of his sitters. The painting depicts Caroline Rivière, the daughter of Philibert Rivière, a prominent official in the Napoleonic administration. Caroline is portrayed at the age of thirteen, shortly before her untimely death, which adds a poignant layer to the artwork.

Ingres' portrayal of Caroline is both tender and formal, reflecting the conventions of portraiture during the early 19th century. She is depicted in a white empire-waist dress, adorned with a lace collar and a blue sash, which was fashionable at the time. Her hair is styled in soft curls, framing her youthful face. The background is kept simple, with a muted landscape that does not detract from the subject, allowing viewers to focus entirely on Caroline's serene expression and the intricate details of her attire.

The painting is notable for its exquisite rendering of textures, from the delicate lace of Caroline's dress to the smoothness of her skin. Ingres' use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, giving her an almost lifelike presence. This attention to detail and the artist's skillful use of color and composition are hallmarks of Ingres' style, which would continue to evolve throughout his career.

"Caroline Rivière" is part of a trio of portraits commissioned by Philibert Rivière, which also includes portraits of himself and his wife. These works are considered some of Ingres' finest early portraits and are housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The painting of Caroline Rivière remains a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of youth and beauty, immortalized through Ingres' masterful artistry.
