Miniature portrait of Madame de Pompadour hand-painted on ivory signed MAD 19th century
Decorate your walls with a 19th-century portrait of King Louis XV's famous mistress, Madame de Pompadour! A woman of power who rose to the highest ranks, she was both loved and loathed by her contemporaries as she rose from being a courtesan to become the king's favorite and advisor.
Her influence at court, both political (with the Franco-Austrian treaty) and artistic, helped change the course of history, particularly that of the arts: she was a patron of numerous painters, sculptors and architects, and also workshops such as the Manufacture de Sèvres, to establish the codes of Louis XV style and Rococo Baroque of her time.
This portrait in natural material (ivory) is a tribute to this great woman of the Ancien Régime, highlighting her renowned beauty of the time, and her class, typical of 18th-century French Vivre à la Française! The choice of gouache on ivory creates a very luminous and pleasing rendering, protected by a curved glass case and enhanced by a black lacquered frame, and hung on a wall for display.
Don't wait any longer, and treat yourself to a portrait of the Marquise de Pompadour that will appeal to young and old alike, lovers and collectors of 19th-century miniature portraits!
