EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the enchanting presence of Madame Olympe Heriot, born Cyprienne Dubernet (1857-1947), in a captivating work of art by renowned French painter Theobald Chartran (1843-1917). Painted in 1891, the portrait showcases Madame Heriot's elegant and refined style, as she sits confidently in an ornate chair, dressed in an exquisite black evening gown. The direct gaze she offers the viewer adds an intriguing depth to the portrait, inviting us into her world. The painting, which is housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, is an excellent example of academic art from the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the apparel, furniture, and the wood material of the chair, all contribute to the historic and authentic atmosphere of the artwork. Madame Heriot's fashionable attire, with its high collar and intricate detailing, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. Madame Heriot was not only a patron of the arts but also a prominent philanthropist in Parisian society. Her support for various cultural institutions and artists further solidified her place in French history. This portrait, with its rich heritage and historical significance, continues to captivate audiences and inspire admiration for the beauty and elegance of the past.
