EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Madame Thiers, a young bride who appears both tense and unhappy. Created by the renowned artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres in 1834, this graphite pencil portrait showcases his exceptional skill in capturing human emotions. Madame Thiers, also known as Elise Dosne, was only fifteen years old when she became the wife of Louis Adolphe Thiers, the Minister of the Interior of France. In this half-length drawing, her hands are clasped tightly together, reflecting her inner turmoil and unease. Her expression is blank and terse, hinting at a sense of sullenness that lingers beneath her youthful facade. The delicate lines and shading techniques used by Ingres bring out every intricate detail on Madame Thiers' face. The play between light and shadow adds depth to her features while emphasizing her melancholic mood. Despite being created almost two centuries ago, this artwork continues to evoke strong emotions within its viewers. Displayed at the Allen Memorial Art Museum in Oberlin College, Ohio, USA; this remarkable piece serves as a reminder of Ingres' mastery in portraiture. It offers us a glimpse into Madame Thiers' world - one filled with tension and unhappiness - frozen forever on paper through the artist's skilled hand.
