Self-Portrait with a Harp, 1791
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting created by the talented French artist Rose Adelaide Ducreux. This exquisite self-portrait showcases Ducreux's mastery in capturing both her own likeness and the beauty of music. In this 18th-century artwork, we see a Parisian woman immersed in her domestic surroundings, seated elegantly indoors. Dressed in a stunning green gown that complements the vibrant background, she holds a harp delicately against her shoulder. The harp itself is meticulously painted, emphasizing its intricate strings and graceful curves. Ducreux's attention to detail extends beyond the instrument; she includes sheet music on the floor beside her as evidence of her musical talent. As she plays, her expression exudes passion and concentration, revealing an intimate connection between herself and the harmonious melodies emanating from the harp. This self-portrait not only showcases Ducreux's artistic skill but also highlights women's contributions to art during this era. As one of few female artists at that time, Ducreux defied societal expectations by pursuing her passion for painting. Today, "Self-Portrait with a Harp" can be admired at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It serves as a testament to Ducreux's lasting legacy as an accomplished painter and musician who broke barriers through her extraordinary talent and determination.
