EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Mademoiselle Marie-Anne Adelaide Le Normand, a prominent figure in 18th-century France. Created by the renowned artist Francois Dumont around 1793, this miniature painting captures the essence of Le Normand's enigmatic personality. Dumont, known for his expertise in creating intricate and lifelike portraits, beautifully portrays Le Normand with remarkable attention to detail. The sitter is depicted with an air of mystery and wisdom as she gazes directly at the viewer. A black owl perches on her shoulder, symbolizing her reputation as a highly influential fortune-teller. Le Normand's significance during this tumultuous period in French history cannot be overstated. She was sought after by both revolutionary leaders and Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, for her prophetic abilities. Her counsel played a crucial role in shaping important decisions made by these powerful figures. This particular print is a watercolour on ivory masterpiece that has been delicately mounted in silver gilt. It exemplifies Dumont's exceptional skill and craftsmanship while capturing the elegance and allure of its subject. Housed within The Cleveland Museum of Art collection, this exquisite piece from Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to glimpse into the fascinating world of Madame Le Normand and appreciate the artistic brilliance that immortalized her image for generations to come.
