EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Hortense Ballu, a young woman who would later become Madame Alphonse Jacob-Desmalter. Painted by Antoinette Cecile Hortense Lescot Haudebourt between 1832 and 1837, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100x82 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Hortense stands before us, her delicate features framed by cascading waves of dark hair. Dressed in a pristine white gown adorned with a blue sash and ribbon, she exudes an air of elegance and grace. Her diaphanous sleeves billow around her arms like ethereal clouds, adding to the romantic atmosphere that surrounds her. A sense of shyness emanates from Hortense's half-length figure as she gazes off into the distance with downcast eyes. Her pallid complexion accentuates her gentle nature, while her piercing blue eyes seem to hold secrets untold. The artist has expertly captured both the physical beauty and inner vulnerability of this young woman. The soft lighting enhances every subtle detail - from the delicate rose held delicately in one hand to the intricate lacework adorning her dress. As we gaze upon this timeless portrait, we are transported back to a bygone era where love letters were written with quill pens and whispered promises filled moonlit gardens. It is through art such as this that we can catch glimpses into lives long past, allowing us to appreciate
