A portrait of Madame Adelaide Pastoret by Jacques-Louis David, painted in the Neoclassical style. The work captures a sense of quiet domesticity, with a simple and balanced composition.
Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) was a French painter, pre-eminent in the Neoclassical style. He is considered one of the most influential French artists of his era. David's Neoclassical works are characterised by their emphasis on classical forms, moral themes, and restrained emotion. He sought to revive the artistic ideals of ancient Greece and Rome, rejecting the frivolity of the Rococo style that preceded it. He was active during the French Revolution, and his art reflected the political and social changes of the time. He later became the official painter to Napoleon Bonaparte. This portrait depicts Madame Adelaide Pastoret, seated and sewing. She wears a simple white dress, typical of the Neoclassical era's preference for classical drapery. The background is a neutral tone, drawing attention to the sitter's face and figure. The composition is simple and balanced, reflecting the Neoclassical emphasis on order and clarity. The portrait captures a sense of quiet domesticity, contrasting with the grand historical paintings for which David is also known.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Painted the Revolution as it happened, voted for the king's execution, switched to Napoleon, and was exiled as a regicide.
