A prolific Neoclassical portraitist, French artist David, Napoleon Bonaparte's official painter, painted this intimately human portrayal with great technical mastery and understanding of character. One of the most ravishing woman of the times, "Madame Recaimer," lost her patience with David's slowness of execution and the painting was abandoned. The incomplete nature of the works highlights David's technique of harmonies of colors giving focus to the main character. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. This replica European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
