EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, believed to depict the Countess of Angiviller, is a stunning example of 18th-century French aristocratic portraiture. Created by the skilled hand of Jean Baptiste Joseph Le Tellier around 1785, this miniature painting measures approximately 7.6 x 6.3 cm and is executed in gouache on ivory. The Countess is depicted in a blue dress adorned with intricate lace, adding an air of elegance and refinement to the image. She is shown leaning on her elbow, creating an intimate and engaging connection with the viewer. The circular shape of the painting adds to its charm and emphasizes the roundness of the subject's face and the soft curves of her neckline. The Countess of Angiviller's portrait is a valuable addition to the rich artistic heritage of France, now housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris. This historic institution is home to an extensive collection of 18th-century paintings and decorative arts, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the art and culture of the period. Le Tellier's masterful use of color and brushwork in this watercolor and gouache painting brings the Countess to life, transporting us back in time to the opulence and grandeur of the French aristocracy during the late 18th century. The painting's gold accents add a touch of luxury and sophistication, further emphasizing the subject's high social standing. Overall, this portrait is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and powerful women of the French aristocracy during the Age of Enlightenment.
