Painting Description
"Study for Vicomtesse d'Hausonville, born Louise Albertine de Broglie I" is a preparatory drawing by the renowned French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. This study was created as part of the preliminary work for Ingres' famous portrait of Louise de Broglie, the Vicomtesse d'Hausonville, which was completed in 1845. Ingres, known for his meticulous approach to portraiture, often produced numerous studies and sketches before finalizing his compositions, and this particular study exemplifies his dedication to capturing the essence and character of his subjects.
Louise de Broglie, born in 1818, was a member of the French aristocracy and a notable literary figure, known for her intellectual salons and contributions to literature. Her portrait by Ingres is celebrated for its refined elegance and the artist's masterful rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as the psychological depth conveyed through her serene yet introspective expression.
The study itself provides valuable insight into Ingres' artistic process. It reveals his focus on achieving precise anatomical accuracy and his exploration of different poses and expressions to best represent the Vicomtesse's personality and status. The drawing showcases Ingres' skill in line work and shading, which he used to build the foundation for the final oil painting.
Ingres' portrait of the Vicomtesse d'Hausonville is housed in the Frick Collection in New York City, where it continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and the intimate portrayal of its subject. The preparatory study remains an important piece for art historians and enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the meticulous preparation that underpinned Ingres' celebrated works.
