EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant "Portrait of the Comtesse de Segur" by Gaston Segur, capturing the essence of a remarkable woman from aristocratic society. The subject of this portrait is none other than Sophie Rostopchine, also known as the Comtesse de Segur (1799-1874), who was not only an esteemed member of French nobility but also a celebrated writer. In this November 1841 depiction, Sophie's ringlets cascade gracefully around her face, framing her delicate features and highlighting her refined beauty. Her eyes exude intelligence and depth, hinting at her literary prowess that would later make her one of France's most beloved female writers. The artist skillfully captures both Sophie's aristocratic upbringing and her creative spirit in this stunning watercolor on paper composition. It is fascinating to note that Monseigneur Gaston de Segur, the painter himself, was Sophie's uncle – adding a personal touch to this already intimate portrayal. Now preserved in a private collection owned by Arlette de Pitray, this timeless piece serves as a testament to both Sophie's enduring legacy as an author and to Gaston Segur's talent as an artist. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance and intellect that defined French high society during the 19th century.
