EDITORS COMMENTS
Mme Recamier, born Jeanne-Françoise-Julie-Adélaide Bernard, was a renowned French society beauty and wit of the early 19th century. Her captivating beauty and sharp intellect made her a favorite among the elite circles of Parisian high society. This stunning portrait, created in 1849, captures the essence of Mme Recamier's allure and charm. Born in 1777, Mme Recamier rose to prominence during the Restoration period, a time of political and social upheaval in France. Despite the turbulent times, she managed to maintain her position as a leading figure in French society, known for her intelligence, wit, and impeccable style. In this portrait, Mme Recamier is depicted in a relaxed pose, reclining on a chaise longue, with a book in her hand and a thoughtful expression on her face. The simple yet elegant setting of the room, with its soft lighting and muted colors, serves to highlight the subject's beauty and refinement. Mme Recamier's fashionable attire, with its high waistline, full skirt, and delicate lace collar, reflects the fashion trends of the time. Her elegant hairstyle, with its intricate braids and curls, adds to her regal appearance. Despite her beauty and social status, Mme Recamier was also known for her intelligence and quick wit. She was a popular hostess, entertaining guests with her engaging conversation and sharp observations. Her salon, which was attended by many prominent figures of the time, was a hub of intellectual and artistic exchange. This portrait of Mme Recamier is a testament to her enduring legacy as a symbol of French beauty and wit. It captures the essence of a woman who defied the conventions of her time and left an indelible mark on French society.
