Princesse de Broglie

.

March 7, 2013 issue of The New York Review of Books magazine had an article 

relating to the fifteen volumes on the Robert Lehman Art Collection

("The Robert Lehman Collection in fifteen volumes - An Astonishing Record of a Vast 

Collection") by Walter Kaiser.

Keiser writes: 'The greatest painting in the collection is the elegant, classical 

portrait of the Princesse de Broglie by Ingres, which Bobbie Lehman described 

in a letter to Berenson as "probably the most beautiful picture we have".'

I did not know the painting previously, so I looked it up, and made a quick 

sketch based on it:
