EDITORS COMMENTS
Mme Recamier, née Julie Adelaide Bernard (1777-1849), was a renowned French society beauty and wit of the early 19th century. Known for her elegant and strikingly beautiful appearance, she was a frequent subject of portraits and a symbol of French high society. In this image, Mme Recamier is depicted sitting on a chaise longue, her posture exuding grace and poise. She is dressed in the height of fashion for the time, with a simple yet elegant gown and a fashionable hat adorned with a ribbon. The use of soft lighting and muted colors adds to the overall sense of sophistication and refinement. Despite her beauty, Mme Recamier was also known for her sharp wit and intelligence. She was a popular figure in Parisian society, and her salon was a gathering place for intellectuals, artists, and politicians. Her conversations were famously lively and stimulating, and she was known to have a quick tongue and a sharp mind. The addition of the cigar in this portrait adds an intriguing element to the image. While smoking was not considered a particularly feminine activity at the time, Mme Recamier was not one to be bound by such conventions. She was a woman of her own mind and her own rules, and this portrait captures the essence of her independent spirit. This beautiful and historic print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Mme Recamier, who continues to be remembered as a symbol of French beauty, wit, and sophistication. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of French high society in the early 19th century.
