Description
Madame Marsollier and Her Daughter. Artist: Jean Marc Nattier (French, Paris 1685-1766 Paris). Dimensions: 57 1/2 x 45 in. (146.1 x 114.3 cm). Date: 1749.
Madame Marsollier was married, beneath her station, to a Parisian textile merchant whose shop was in the rue Saint-Honoré. Her portrait, exhibited at the Salon in 1750, displays in full measure the luxury fabrics that were the source of his fortune. The lady and her child are en déshabille, in revealing draperies that accentuate their pearly skin. It is not surprising that the wealthy couple would have commissioned a large portrait from Nattier, who was then the preeminent painter of the French royal family. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
