Madame Augustine Bertin, the hostess of a literary salon, appears in this portrait at about twenty-five years of age. Her gown and jewelry conform to contemporary fashions in Napoleonic France. Gleaming pearls, lustrous velvet, and fine starched lace provided the artist with an opportunity to display his painterly skill. Trained by the Neoclassical history painter Jacques-Louis David, Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson, known simply as Girodet, had made his name in the 1790s with large-scale literary subjects but turned to portraiture in the early nineteenth century, painting several of Madame Bertin’s relations. This portrait remained in her family for two centuries.
