Portret van Madame du Barry 1873 - 1894

Henri Félix Vion's "Portret van Madame du Barry" is a portrait etching, likely from the late 19th century, portraying Madame du Barry. This print is a fine example of the etching style, with delicate lines and shading creating a realistic depiction of the subject's face and clothing. Madame du Barry, a celebrated mistress of King Louis XV, is presented in a dignified and elegant pose, reflecting the historical context of the artwork. While the original artwork is not located, the etching's small size and the subject matter of a historical figure suggest it may have been created for private collection or publication.
