EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Léonie Dufresne, Baroness Le Vavasseur, then Marquise de Vaucouleurs" by Charles Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran, dates back to 1875. The painting is a prime example of academic art from the 19th century, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the aristocracy during that era. The subject of the portrait is Léonie Dufresne, who was the Baroness Le Vavasseur at the time this painting was created, and later became the Marquise de Vaucouleurs. She is depicted wearing an evening dress of black color, which was a common choice for mourning attire during that period. Her black hair is styled in an intricate updo, adding to the formal and solemn atmosphere of the portrait. The painting is executed on canvas and measures an impressive size, making it a significant work in the artist's oeuvre. Carolus-Duran, a renowned French painter, expertly captures the direct gaze of the subject, who looks intently at the viewer with a sense of quiet confidence. The hands of the baroness are clasped in her lap, adding to the sense of stillness and contemplation. This portrait was once part of the collection of the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, a historic institution dedicated to the history of Paris and its people. The painting is a testament to the fashion and style of the 19th century, as well as a glimpse into the lives of the aristocracy during that time. The use of black color and the mourning dress serve as a reminder of the passing of time and the transience of life.
