TFA blurb review[edit]

The Princesse de Broglie is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Completed between 1851 and 1853, it shows Pauline de Broglie, who adopted the courtesy title princesse, and married Albert de Broglie, the 28th Prime Minister of France. Pauline was aged 28 at the time of its completion. Highly intelligent and widely known for her beauty, she suffered from profound shyness, and the painting captures her melancholia. Pauline contracted tuberculosis and died in 1860 aged 35. The painting is considered one of the artist's finest later-period female portraits, along with those of Comtesse d'Haussonville, Baronne de Rothschild and Madame Moitessier. As with many of his female portraits, details of costume and setting are rendered with a chilly precision while her body seems to lack a solid bone structure. The painting is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. (Full article...)
