AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Louis XV Rococo-style gilded wooden frame dating from 1900-1925 with a miniature representing a neoclassical feminine portrait, of Empire style.
Refined, with finesse and lightness, this type of portrait was particularly sought after in the Belle Époque (1970-1914) because it embodied freedom and understated elegance.
The red drapery behind the model, the elegant pose, the Antique hairstyle with short, curly hair and a headband, the light high-waisted tunic are typical of the Empire fashion.
This portrait is an adaptation inspired by an emblematic female figure of the Directory, Juliette Récamier (1777-1949), a woman of art and letters under the Directory and the Empire, whose portrait had been painted by Jacques-Louis David in 1800, then by François Gérard in 1802.
