EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Marie Fargues, the wife of the artist, in a stunning Turkish costume. Created between 1756-58 by Jean-Etienne Liotard, this pastel on parchment print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Marie is depicted sitting gracefully in an elegant room, her posture exuding poise and confidence. She rests comfortably on an armchair or sofa, surrounded by luxurious textiles that add depth and richness to the composition. A beautifully woven basket sits beside her, holding secrets only she knows. In her hands, Marie holds a book - perhaps a treasured possession or a symbol of her intellect and curiosity. The intricate patterns on her Turkish attire reflect both cultural influences and Liotard's mastery of capturing texture through pastels. The soft lighting casts gentle shadows across Marie's face, highlighting her delicate features and adding depth to her expression. Her eyes seem to hold stories untold while conveying an air of mystery. Displayed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this artwork invites viewers into a world where beauty meets tradition. It serves as a testament not only to Liotard's artistic skill but also to his deep affection for his wife. As we gaze upon this exquisite portrait print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com , we are transported back in time - mesmerized by Marie Fargues' gracefulness and captivated by the allure of another era.
