Portrait of Madame Panckoucke 1811

"Portrait of Madame Panckoucke" is a Neoclassical portrait painted in 1811 by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, a prominent figure in French art. The painting depicts Madame Panckoucke, a wealthy Parisian woman, dressed in a white gown with a patterned shawl and adorned with jewelry. Ingres's characteristically precise and linear style is evident in the subject's delicate features and the meticulous rendering of her clothing and accessories. This portrait, like many of Ingres's works, reflects the Neoclassical emphasis on clarity, order, and the idealized beauty of the human form.
