Decadence barely begins to describe this portrait by Jacques Joseph Tissot.
Loaded with signifiers of wealth, heritage and worldliness, this painting has more than a few juicy details.
Zoom in and let your eye wander.
Portrait of the Marquise de Miramon, née, Thérèse Feuillant, 1866, Jacques Joseph Tissot. J. Paul Getty Museum.
I can’t believe I missed this one during my Getty visit a few months ago. Maybe it wasn’t on display?
Back to the Getty!
