She is the embodiment of luxury and style during the Second Empire, which saw the restoration of the French imperial throne and the extravagant display of wealth. Her distinctive pose is based upon a Roman wall painting from Herculaneum depicting the goddess of Arcadia.\n\nThe portrait was commissioned in 1844 to celebrate the marriage two years earlier of Marie Clotilde-Inès de Foucauld to the wealthy merchant, Sigisbert Moitessier. Ingres was initially reluctant to accept the commission, but changed his mind after meeting the 23-year-old Madame Moitessier, whom he described as ‘beautiful and good’. Nonetheless, it took him 12 years to complete the painting. During this time, the picture underwent several major revisions: a young daughter, Catherine, was originally to be included but was removed from the composition, and a different dress was chosen to reflect the change in fashion.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/jean-auguste-dominique-ingres-madame-moitessier\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Madame Moitessier\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509743849715,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (47 1\/4\" x 36 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509743882483,"sku":null,"price":2741.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 3\/8\" x 15 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509743915251,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25\" x 19 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509743948019,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 5\/8\" x 23 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509743980787,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 1\/2\" x 30 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509744013555,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 1\/2\" x 36 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509744046323,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 7\/8\" x 42 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509744079091,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (67 1\/8\" x 51 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509744111859,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/MadameMoitessier.jpg?v=1788839220","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/madame-moitessier-ngal998","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
