EDITORS COMMENTS
Jean-Jacques Henner's Portrait of Madame Paul Duchesne-Fournet, painted in 1879, is a captivating work of art that showcases the elegance and sophistication of the French Third Republic era. Madame Duchesne-Fournet, the wife of a prominent French politician, is depicted in this oil on canvas painting wearing an extravagant black dress and headdress. The portrait created a sensation in Paris and made headlines for its extravagant price of 10,000 francs, a significant sum during that time. The portrait is a masterful example of chiaroscuro, the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, creating a striking visual effect. Madame Duchesne-Fournet's face is illuminated by the light, drawing the viewer's attention to her expressive features, while the rest of the painting is shrouded in shadow. The painting's rich black color and intricate details of the clothing and headdress are a testament to the fashion trends of the late 19th century. The dress, with its voluminous skirt and fitted bodice, is a common depiction of the era's women's fashion. The headdress, adorned with pearls and feathers, adds to the overall grandeur of the portrait. The portrait of Madame Paul Duchesne-Fournet is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, showcasing not only the artistic skills of Jean Jacques Henner but also the cultural heritage of France during the Third Republic. This painting is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
