Painting Description
"Vicomtesse Othenin d'Haussonville, née Louise-Albertine de Broglie" is a celebrated oil on canvas portrait by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, painted in 1845. The artwork is housed in The Frick Collection in New York City, showcasing Ingres's mastery in portraying aristocratic elegance through his refined and detailed painting technique. The subject of the portrait, Louise-Albertine de Broglie, was a member of the illustrious de Broglie family, known for their significant contributions to French politics, military, and intellectual life. Married to the Vicomte d'Haussonville, she was an intellectual and writer in her own right, involved in the literary and political circles of her time.
Ingres's portrayal of the Vicomtesse is notable for its psychological depth and the sophisticated use of color and light, which emphasize the subject's grace and dignity. The composition is remarkable for its intricate detailing, from the luxurious textures of her clothing to the reflective surfaces and objects that surround her, all of which contribute to the overall aura of refined elegance. The portrait is also a testament to Ingres's ability to blend realism with idealization, capturing both the physical likeness and the social stature of his sitter.
The painting was commissioned by the Vicomtesse's husband and took several years to complete, reflecting Ingres's meticulous approach to his work. The Vicomtesse is depicted in a richly decorated interior, suggestive of her family's wealth and status. Her pose, with one arm resting on a mantelpiece and the other holding a letter, along with her direct gaze, projects confidence and intellect, qualities that were admired in the salon culture of 19th-century France.
"Vicomtesse Othenin d'Haussonville, née Louise-Albertine de Broglie" is celebrated not only for its technical brilliance but also as a cultural artifact that offers insights into the social and historical context of the French aristocracy in the mid-19th century. It remains one of Ingres's most admired works, exemplifying his lifelong dedication to the ideals of classical art and his unparalleled skill in portraiture.
