Painting by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portrait of Madame Ingres is a late period oil on canvas painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, completed in 1859.[1] Depicting his second wife Delphine Ramel (he was widowed in 1849),[2] it is Ingres' final painted portrait, apart from two self-portraits.[3] It was probably painted to accompany Ingres's self-portrait of the same year, now in the Fogg Art Museum, Boston.[4]
Delphine was the daughter of Dominique Ramel (1777–1860) and the niece of Charles Marcotte d'Argenteuil. She is presented as warm and engaging, devoid of the upper-class pretensions that marked most of his other later-period female portraits. Ingres depicted her in the same pose in a drawing dated 1855 in the Fogg Art Museum.
