EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Portia" is a masterpiece created by the talented French artist Michel des Gobelins in the late seventeenth century. Measuring 64.8x52.4 cm, this exquisite artwork showcases an elegant and fair-haired woman gazing away from the viewer with a hint of aversion in her eyes. The subject of this painting is Portia, a fictional heroine from Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice". Dressed in semi-nude attire, she exudes grace and beauty while turning away slightly, adding an air of mystery to her character. Gobelins' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he captures Portia's delicate features and blonde hair with precision. The soft color palette enhances the ethereal atmosphere surrounding her. Displayed against an oval-shaped canvas, Portia stands alone indoors, emphasizing her solitary presence. This evocative portrayal reflects both the artistic style of late seventeenth-century France and Gobelins' mastery as a painter. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a time when literature and art intertwined seamlessly. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of old master paintings that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
