Contessa de Sorsi Anna Marie Feljien by Jacques Louis David

Painting of the French artist Jacques Louis David “Contessa de Sorsi Anna-Marie Feliuen.” The size of the portrait is 129 x 97 cm, canvas, oil. The fineness of the observation of individual qualities of the model is combined in the portraits of Jacques Louis David with a deep psychological generalization. The portraits are likened to an antique statue, they are depicted in a free, like an involuntary, pose, resting in the open air, for example, the portraits of the four Serizia.

Viscount was called in the Middle Ages governor in any possession of the count. Subsequently, the individual viscounts grew so strong that they could become independent of the Count’s authority, and the possession of the well-known French possessions began to unite with the title of Viscount.

Currently, this title in France and in England occupies something between the titles of the earl and the baron. In addition, the elder son of the earl usually wears the title of Viscount. The wife of the viscount is usually called a contessa or viscountess.
