The Forestier Family, 1806
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic talent of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. This graphite on paper masterpiece, measuring 23.3x31.9 cm, can be found in the Louvre's Cabinet de dessins in Paris, France. The portrait depicts the Forestier family with Marie Anne Julie Forestier at its center. Engaged to Ingres himself and an accomplished painter in her own right, Marie Anne exudes elegance and grace. Standing beside her are her father Charles Pierre Michel Forestier and her mother Marie Jeanne Julie Salle. Ingres' attention to detail is evident in this piece as he captures each family member's unique personality through their expressions and poses. The composition also includes other significant figures such as Marie Anne's uncle and Clotilde the maid. Within this intimate interior setting, a harpsichord takes center stage while a loyal dog rests at Marie Anne's feet. The artist's skillful use of shading brings depth to the drawing, making it come alive before our eyes. It is worth noting that "The Forestier Family" exists in three versions; however, the one housed at the Louvre is considered to be the original work by Ingres himself. Another version found in Montauban appears to be a copy by another artist—possibly Julie Forestier—and there is also a tracing located at Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge. This group portrait offers us a glimpse into bourgeois
