EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Stéphanie Félicité Ducrest de St-Aubin, later known as Madame de Genlis, in the prime of her life around 1780. The painting, created by the skilled hand of Marie Gabrielle Capet, showcases the aristocrat's elegant and refined appearance. Dressed in the height of 18th century fashion, Madame de Genlis dons a circular, gilded frame that adds an air of sophistication and grandeur to the portrait. Her grey hair is artfully arranged under a large, brimmed hat adorned with a ribbon, while her dress, with its intricate gold detailing and subtle color palette, highlights the artist's mastery of the gouache medium. Madame de Genlis, born in France, was not only an aristocrat but also an author, educator, and musician. She was known for her literary works, which focused on morality and education, and was a harpist, as evidenced by the harp that often accompanies her image. This portrait captures her in a contemplative moment, seated outdoors, perhaps reflecting on her many accomplishments. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, a testament to its historical significance and the enduring legacy of both the subject and the artist.
