Portrait of the Marquise de Miramon, née, Thérèse Feuillant (oil painting (visual work); Jacques Joseph Tissot (French, 1836 - 1902) (French Artist); 1866; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 2007.7)

Note: Thérèse-Stephanie-Sophie Feuillant (1836 - 1912), descended from a grand bourgeois family with interests in the mines of northern France. From her father Xavier Feuillant, an officer and supporter of the Bourbon restoration, she inherited a significant fortune, which she brought to her marriage in 1860 to René de Cassagnes de Beaufort, 5th Marquis de Miramon (1835 - 1882). Here she stands in one of the rooms of the Château de Paulhac in Auvergne, her husband's family seat, surrounded by decorative objects fashionable during the Second Empire. On the wall hangs a flower painting, some miniature portraits, and a gilt-framed mirror. Behind the Marquise stands a Japanese screen of cranes on a gold ground, and a Louis XVI stool on which lies a heap of needlework, suggestive of upper-class domesticity. On the mantelpiece sit two Japanese vases, an 18th-century terracotta bust (possibly a portrait of a member of her husband's family by the late 18th-century sculptor Philippe-Laurent Roland), a bouquet of delicate pink and rose flowers, a Japanese ceramic piece in the shape of a fish, and a white glove. The Marquise wears the other glove on her right hand, gently holding a fold of her voluminous dressing gown, which falls gracefully around her onto the fur-covered marble floor. Her exposed left hand reveals a narrow wrist and delicately tapered fingers, the pale, pink-tinged complexion of which matches that of her fine, unlined face. An aquiline nose dominates her features -- her round eyes and small mouth. She is a 30-year-old woman at the height of elegance, but with an air of fragility. Her costume is spectacular, a velvet, rose-colored peignoir, caped à la pèlerine (pilgrim style), and edged with deep pink ruffles. Her hair is neatly braided on top of her head, and she wears a black lace scarf and a silver cross around her neck, as was the style of the day. As if caught in a pensive moment, she looks off to her right, avoiding direct visual contact with the painter/viewer.
