"Madame Hippolyte Flandrin, born Aimée Caroline Ancelot" is a portrait by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres of a prominent woman. The artwork is drawn in pencil and depicts Madame Flandrin in a three-quarter view, her gaze directed toward the viewer, with a slight smile. She is dressed in a yellow gown, with a large bow at the neck and a shawl draped over her shoulders. Ingres was a leading figure in the Neoclassical style, known for his precise linework, idealized figures, and focus on form. This portrait exemplifies Ingres's meticulous approach and timeless elegance.
