Duchess de Fitz-James

Henri Fantin-Latour, 1867

This painting is a detailed portrait featuring the upper body of a woman seen in side profile, facing the left. She has a fair complexion, with a curved nose, pale eyebrows, pink cheeks, high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and thin pink lips in a neutral expression. Her curly, dark brown hair is styled behind her head and adorned with a wreath of purple and white flowers. She wears a lilac-purple off-the-shoulder dress with white fringe details and a bow in the front. A light-colored shawl or wrap drapes over her shoulders, and she wears multiple strands of pearl necklaces. She appears to sit in a dark red chair that is partially visible on the right, and the background is plain, muted brown.
