EDITORS COMMENTS
Countess Woronzow, portrayed by Marie-Victoire Jaquetot in 1819, is an elegant and captivating figure in this enamel painting on sèvres porcelain. The Countess, whose full name was Catherine Herbert, Countess of Woronzow, was a prominent aristocrat of the early 19th century. She is depicted here wearing a fashionable bassetaille dress, a style popular during this period, which features a full skirt and fitted bodice. The dress is adorned with intricate gold gilding and enamel details, reflecting the opulence and wealth of the aristocracy. The Countess's hairstyle is equally impressive, with her golden locks arranged in an elaborate updo, adorned with a delicate necklace and various hair ornaments. Her direct gaze and confident posture convey a sense of strength and intelligence. The background of the painting is simple, with a plain, gilt frame and a subtle floral motif. Marie-Victoire Jaquetot was a renowned French artist who specialized in enamel painting on sèvres porcelain. Her work was highly sought after by the aristocracy and was often used to decorate their homes and personal collections. This particular piece, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, is a testament to Jaquetot's skill and the fashion trends of the time. The use of enamel painting on porcelain was a popular art form during the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres was one of the leading producers of such works. This technique involved applying powdered glass to a fired porcelain surface, which was then melted and fused at high temperatures to create intricate designs and vibrant colors. The result was a beautiful and durable work of art, as evidenced by this stunning portrait of Countess Woronzow.
