"Madame Paul-Sigisbert Moitessier, née Marie-Clotilde-Inès de Foucauld, Standing" is a celebrated portrait by the French Neoclassical painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1856. This oil on canvas masterpiece is one of two portraits Ingres painted of Madame Moitessier; the other, seated, was finished in 1851. The standing portrait was commissioned by her husband, a wealthy banker and lace merchant, Paul-Sigisbert Moitessier. The work is renowned for its exquisite detail, the sitter's elegant pose, and the sumptuous depiction of her attire and surroundings, which reflect her wealth and status in Parisian society.

Marie-Clotilde-Inès de Foucauld, the subject of the portrait, was admired for her beauty and was a prominent figure in the Parisian social scene of the time. Ingres, who was known for his meticulous technique and fascination with the female form, captures Madame Moitessier's grace and the textures of her silk gown and jewelry with remarkable precision. The portrait is a testament to Ingres's ability to blend realism with idealization, creating an image that is both lifelike and imbued with an air of timeless elegance.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for the insight it provides into the fashions and societal norms of the mid-19th century French upper class. It took Ingres several years to complete the portrait, as he was known for his slow and painstaking process, and because Madame Moitessier was not always available to sit for him. The resulting work is a testament to Ingres's patience and his dedication to capturing the essence of his subject.

Today, "Madame Paul-Sigisbert Moitessier, née Marie-Clotilde-Inès de Foucauld, Standing" is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of Ingres's most important and accomplished portraits. It is housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its portrayal of 19th-century French elegance.
