"Beautiful Neo-classical Portrait "woman In Profile With Egret" Oil/canvas Framed School Of Ingres"
In its gilded frame from the early 19th century, an enigmatic and graceful young woman with an egret in profile, graceful bare back and slender raised hands, one of which holds the bath towel that covers her chest. A "Neo-Classical" Work, specific to this period when Ingres had a reputation and was imbued with this precise and applied style where the influence of Mythology had an important part. The way of painting with a "smoothed" paint on a fine support bringing out the glazes and the painted details with great application; the subject dear to Ingres of Young Women and the pushed canon of classism, the beautiful nuances of the skin, the melancholy look with big eyes, the straight nose and the academic pose, the search for the image of the antique is very real and this beautiful woman coming out of the bath is a good example, I place this beautiful painting around 1820 (Ingres, Jean-Auguste-Dominique (Montauban, 1780- Paris, 1867) a beautiful painting from his School and perhaps by the Master... Interesting price for this very decorative work and present in good condition given the fragility of the support...
