Paul DelarocheFrankrig, 1797–1856Må man se det?
Chicago, USA
Det hører til samlingen, men er ikke udstillet for tiden.
Delaroche sought to infuse his works with great emotional and moral expressiveness. Rendered with the soft-focus, “porthole” perspective of contemporary daguerreotype photography, this unidentified female portrait blends the romantic pose of a melancholy woman with the delicacy of an Ingres odalisque. It is unclear how the amorous couple at the door in the background relates to the contemplative woman.
