- Description: A well-studied artist, Eugène Isabey was the son of Jean-Baptiste Isabey, a highly regarded painter of miniatures. Equally adept in oil, watercolor, and lithography, the younger Isabey further displayed his versatility by producing landscapes, seascapes, portraits, illustrations, and historical scenes. Working in a broad Romantic style, Isabey was admired for his attention to tonal effects and the luminosity of his color. When Isabey painted this portrait of his wife, Laura Lebreton, in the mid 1840s, he was at the height of his abilities and stature. Although a rapidly executed oil sketch, the portrait beautifully describes Laura’s likeness, while also communicating a great deal more. The painting betrays Isabey’s intimate knowledge and indeed his love for his subject. Although she is nearing forty, Laura is painted with porcelain skin, deep red lips, and a slender neck, emphasized by her long, dangling earring. She yet possesses the capacity to charm with her enigmatic gaze, which is at once knowing, but also almost coquettish.
