EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel portrait, titled "Comte de Provence, c. 1778" showcases the artistic brilliance of Adelaide Labille-Guiard. The subject of this exquisite artwork is none other than Louis de France (1755-1824), also known as the future King Louis XVIII. Labille-Guiard's mastery in capturing the essence and elegance of her subjects is evident in every stroke of this piece. The Comte de Provence is depicted with a regal countenance, his piercing gaze drawing viewers into the depths of his character. Adorned in an opulent wig that was fashionable during the era, he exudes an air of sophistication and nobility. The artist's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this composition - from the intricate lace collar delicately cascading down his chest to the subtle play of light on his face. It is a testament to Labille-Guiard's skill that she effortlessly brings life to her subjects through her use of color and texture. Displayed at Musee Antoine Lecuyer in Saint-Quentin, France, this print serves as a window into history, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era when royalty reigned supreme. As we admire this remarkable work, we are transported back to 18th-century France and reminded once again why fine art has such enduring power - it captures not only moments but also emotions and stories that transcend time itself.
