EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait, titled "Portrait of the Artist's Wife Marie Suzanne, nee Giroust," was painted by the Swedish artist Alexander Roslin in 1763. Roslin, known as Roslin Svezzese during his time in Italy, was a prominent figure of the Rococo era, characterized by its ornate and decorative style. In this painting, Roslin captures his wife Marie Suzanne, née Giroust, in a moment of youthful innocence and beauty. Marie Suzanne is depicted with a direct gaze, her eyes meeting the viewer's, while she holds a bouquet of roses in her left hand. The flowers, a symbol of love and passion, are placed delicately in her hand, their vibrant pink hue contrasting with the soft, muted tones of her dress and the background. The use of oil pastel on silk adds to the painting's ethereal quality, giving it a unique texture and luminosity. Marie Suzanne's hair is adorned with a single rose, adding to the overall sense of femininity and grace. Her expression is one of youthful joy and contentment, reflecting the happiness and fulfillment that comes with being the artist's muse and wife. This portrait is a testament to the deep connection between the artist and his subject, as well as the beauty and elegance of the Rococo era. It is currently on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its timeless charm and enduring appeal.
