Baronne de Thellusson
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.The baroness (1770–1852), a woman of letters—she is thought to be the “Madame de T . . .” who in 1818 published a collection of poetry—is seated at a table with a quill pen and papers in hand. Wearing an Empire dress of dark velvet trimmed with fur, she gazes intently at the viewer with a calm, inquisitive expression.
