is a captivating print that transports us back to the aristocratic world of 19th century France. Created by Pierre-Louis Pierson, this albumen silver print showcases the elegance and opulence of the era. In this full-length portrait, we are introduced to Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione, an Italian noblewoman who was renowned for her beauty and fashion sense. Dressed in a stunning crinoline gown with a hooped skirt, she epitomizes the height of French couture during this period. The countess's décolletage is prominently displayed, highlighting her fashionable taste and social status. Her attire exudes sophistication and femininity as she stands confidently before the camera lens. Pierson's expert photography captures every intricate detail of Countess Castiglione's ensemble - from the layers of petticoats beneath her dress to the delicate lace adorning her sleeves. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its timeless allure. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this photograph serves as a window into a bygone era. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of high society individuals like Countess Castiglione while also showcasing Pierson's artistic prowess. As we admire "Les beau décolleté" we are reminded not only of the beauty captured within its frame but also how fashion has always been intertwined with culture throughout history.
