About the piece
Painted in 1812, this masterful portrait by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres captures the Countess of Tournon with remarkable psychological depth and technical virtuosity. The composition highlights the rich textures of her emerald green velvet gown, the intricate lace of her ruff and veil, and the luminous quality of her skin against a somber, dark background typical of the period's formal portraiture.
