About the piece
Painted by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1856, this celebrated portrait of Marie-Clotilde-Inès Moitessier is a tour de force of technical precision. The work is renowned for its luxurious depiction of textures—from the shimmering floral silk of her gown to the intricate gold jewelry—and its sophisticated use of a mirror to offer a secondary perspective of the sitter.
