What the museum label doesn't tell you
For decades no one could see this painting without asking: Albert de Broglie kept it shrouded behind a velvet curtain at home, lending it out only for select exhibitions. Why hide such an accomplished portrait of your own wife? Pauline died of tuberculosis just seven years after sitting for it, at 35. Critics already sensed melancholy in that gaze, which now reads as premonition. The flat, featureless background - unusual for late Ingres - leaves only the invented heraldic crest joining two family lines: lineage mattered more than setting. Was he mourning her, or hoarding her?
