Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's Portrait of the Princesse de Broglie, painted between 1851 and 1853, is a compelling depiction of Pauline de Broglie's intelligence, beauty, and hidden melancholy. This Neoclassical oil canvas painting captures the intense shyness of the 28-year-old future wife of France's 28th prime minister, Albert de Broglie. Although renowned for her beauty and intellect, the painting beautifully encapsulates her profound sense of melancholia. Pauline tragically succumbed to tuberculosis at the young age of 35, leaving Albert heartbroken and pining for his lost love.
