Portrait of Madame Riviere by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

Before us is Madame Rivier, whose portrait, together with her daughter, was ordered by her husband. Of particular importance is his chosen oval composition, inscribed in a rectangle.

This oval emphasizes the fluidity of the folds of the dress, the cashmere shawl, the softness of the blue velvet cushions.
