About this artwork
Albertine Hayard (1797–1833) was the oldest of the four daughters of Charles-Roch Hayard (1768–1839), a French supplier of artists’ materials, based in Rome. This endearing portrait was made around the time of her marriage, aged 14 or 15, to the landscape painter Pierre-Athanase Chauvin (1774–1832).

Ingres was very skilled at drawing and was much in demand as a portraitist among the French community in the city.
