About the piece

Painted in 1810, this masterful portrait by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres depicts Marcotte d’Argenteuil with remarkable precision and clarity. The contrast between the deep indigo of the overcoat, the crisp yellow collar, and the warm flesh tones creates a sophisticated and commanding presence characteristic of early 19th-century French portraiture.
