Princesse Murat
1859
Step into the glamorous world of 19th-century royalty with this portrait of the Princesse Murat. Created in 1859 by Edmond Morin and masterfully engraved by Henry Linton (whose name you can spot in the bottom right corner!), this piece is a stunning example of Realism. The Princess is draped in a dramatic, heavy black lace mantilla that frames her face—a high-fashion accessory of the era that adds a touch of mysterious elegance. The intricate lines give her skin a soft, luminous quality that contrasts beautifully with the dark, textured fabric of her veil, capturing a moment of aristocratic grace.
