Hugues Merle (1823–1881). Portrait Of His Niece Marie Bessières. Dedicated. 1863. Oil On Canvas
This portrait is turned three-quarters to the left.
She wears a thin white dress embellished with a pink ribbon tied at the front, highlighting the line of her neck and shoulders.
This intimate portrait, without jewelry, is enriched by her abundant braided and curly hair, which reveals her rank. Small strands of hair highlight her gentle gaze and rosy cheeks.
Her mouth is thin and delicately outlined.
This painting is dedicated and signed in the lower right corner:
"To my dear niece Marie Bessières.
Hugues Merle.
1863."
The oil on canvas is framed by a row of pearls bordered by a thick gold band.
