EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the elegance and grace of Madame Poisson, the mother of the renowned Madame de Pompadour. Painted by Adelaide Labille-Guiard in 1749, this pastel on paper artwork captures a moment frozen in time. Madame Poisson's smiling face radiates warmth and wisdom, as she dons a stunning bonnet adorned with delicate lace and frills. Her head and shoulders are beautifully framed within an oval shape, emphasizing her regal presence. The intricate details of her accessories further enhance her refined taste - from the bow that delicately rests atop her head to the veil that adds an air of mystery to her ensemble. It is evident that every element has been carefully chosen to reflect both fashion trends of the era and Madame Poisson's personal style. As we admire this portrait, we cannot help but notice a subtle juxtaposition between femininity and strength. Concealed beneath layers of beauty lies a hidden weapon - perhaps symbolizing Madame Poisson's resilience or influence within society. This print allows us to appreciate not only Labille-Guiard's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into history through fashion and portraiture. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless works continue to captivate our imagination and transport us back in time.
