About the Item

German manufacture (late 19th century) - Madame Juliette Récamier reclining on a chaise longue. 13 x 7.5 x h 17 cm. Polychrome porcelain group depicting Madame Juliette Récamier seated on a chaise longue with a scrolled back and crimson cushion. The figure wears a yellow off-the-shoulder dress with a white floral-patterned shawl and holds a small bouquet of roses. The composition relates to the iconography of the celebrated Parisian salonnière, made popular among others by Jacques-Louis David's unfinished portrait of 1800, now in the Louvre, Paris. The modelling is careful, with well-rendered drapery and polychromy. Condition report: Good overall condition of the painted surface. Restorations to one flower and the fingers of the left hand. • This item is sold with attribution and age documentation with legal validity. • Further details on the condition report are available upon request. Note for non-Italian buyers: This work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy, issued by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage, which certifies that the work does not belong to the Italian cultural heritage and may therefore be freely exported.
