Discover the story ↓Behind the artwork
This self-portrait corresponds to Ducreux's work exhibited at the 1791 Paris Salon. She appears beside the harp in an elegant pose; her magnificent fabrics and composed expression were praised by contemporary critics. The painting demonstrates both her portraiture and her ability to render silk, wood, skin tones, and interior light.
A frame for this work
Herself by the Strings
A carved gilt frame suits the formality of an eighteenth-century Salon portrait and answers the harp's gilded ornament. The dark gray-purple wall bridges the curtain and her skin tone; without a mat, her dress remains the main highlight.
