About the piece
Painted around 1810 by the acclaimed French artist François Gérard, this neoclassical portrait depicts Alexandrine-Anne de la Pallu, the Marquise de Flers. The subject is rendered with soft, luminous skin and intricate dark curls, accessorized by a double-strand pearl necklace and a unique pearl hairpin that catch the light. Her bold red empire-waist gown provides a dramatic contrast to the serene, hazy landscape background, epitomizing the refined elegance of the First Empire period.
