Picture of the day

Madame Moitessier is the title of a portrait of Marie-Clotilde-Inès Moitessier (née de Foucauld) begun in 1844 and completed in 1856 by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. When first requested to paint Moitessier, Ingres refused; however, upon meeting her and being struck by her beauty, he agreed to take the commission. His first portrait, shown here, depicts Moitessier seated and draws inspiration from the frescoes of Herculaneum. It is now in the National Gallery in London.Painting: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
