Madame Armand Bertin, née Marie-Anne-Cécile Dollfuss, 1843, Graphite on wove paper, Sheet: 13 7/16 x 10 1/4 in. ( x 26 cm), Drawings, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780–1867 Paris), Ingres’s characteristic distortion of anatomy is evident, as the impossibly long arms and extreme downward slope of Mme Bertin’s shoulders defy proportion. Her face, framed by glossy sausage-shaped ringlets, bears a soft, friendly expression, testifying to the Bertin family’s close relationship with the artist
