EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures a tender moment between a young lady named Madame de Genlis and her beloved son. Painted by Louis-Andre Fabre, this watercolor on ivory masterpiece showcases the deep bond shared between mother and child. Madame de Genlis is portrayed facing right, adorned in an exquisite fur-bordered red silk dress with delicate lace cuffs. Underneath her attire, she wears a white silk underdress that adds to her elegance. A pink rose and foliage are tastefully pinned to her striped gauze scarf tied at the corsage. Her powdered hair cascades in beautiful curls, framing her serene face. Seated in a luxurious pink-embroidered blue upholstered gilt-wood chair, Madame de Genlis lovingly embraces her young son who holds onto his mother's hand affectionately. The boy is dressed in a lace-bordered brown outfit accentuated by a charming blue sash. The background of the portrait features an elegant interior setting with hints of gold accents from the ornate gilt-metal frame surrounding them. This miniature painting beautifully encapsulates the timeless beauty of maternal love and captures the essence of grace and sophistication during this era. It serves as a testament to Fabre's artistic talent and his ability to capture emotions within such small dimensions. A true treasure from history, this print offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the lives of Madame de Genlis and her adoring son while showcasing their undeniable connection that transcends time itself.
