Portrait of Mlle Albertine Hayard

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780 - 1867)

Scottish National Gallery

1812

Like so many of Ingres' portrait drawings, this charming study was made in Rome when he was a pensionnaire at the Villa Medici and largely dependent for his income on pencil portraits of visitors to the city. It is one of a collection of portraits of the sitter's family all drawn by Ingres at this time.
