EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pastel portrait captures the likeness of Laure Sallambier, the mother of the renowned French realist novelist, Honore de Balzac. The anonymous artist masterfully renders the subtle textures of Sallambier's delicate features, her expressive eyes, and the intricate details of her elegant attire. The portrait was created in France, likely in Paris, during the early 19th century, a time when pastels were a popular medium for capturing the likenesses of the wealthy and prominent. Sallambier's portrait hangs proudly in the Balzac House, a testament to the deep connection between mother and son. Honore de Balzac, born in 1799, went on to become one of the most influential writers in French literature, known for his intricate and detailed portrayals of French society. His mother, Laure Sallambier, born in 1778, lived to see her son's literary success and no doubt took great pride in his accomplishments. This beautiful pastel portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the profound influence that family and upbringing can have on the development of an artist or a writer.
