EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Portrait of the Artist's Wife Asleep (Marie Guilloux)" by Albert Lebourg, dates back to the 1880s. The image, created using black chalk and charcoal with stumping on buff laid paper laid down on cream Japanese paper, showcases Marie Guilloux, the artist's wife, in a peaceful slumber. The young woman is depicted with her eyes closed, hands folded in her lap, and a serene expression on her face. She is dressed in an elegant, high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, typical of the fashion of the time. The portrait is a beautiful representation of the intimacy and tranquility of a private moment. The use of black and white adds to the timeless and classic feel of the artwork. The posture of the woman, with her head slightly tilted to the side, suggests a sense of relaxation and contentment. This portrait is a testament to Lebourg's skill as an artist, as he was able to capture the essence of his wife's peaceful slumber in a way that is both captivating and introspective. The image invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty of the moment and the connection between the artist and his subject. The portrait is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed for the public to appreciate and enjoy. The Art Institute of Chicago, located in the heart of Chicago, Illinois, is a world-renowned art museum and research center, housing an extensive collection of art from ancient to contemporary times. The institution is dedicated to the preservation, presentation, and interpretation of art, providing a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and the general public.
