Miniature portrait, by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard

Nationalmuseum has acquired a spectacular miniature by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. One of the most important women artists in late 18th-century France, she was not previously represented in the museum’s collections. The work is interesting on account of the motif alone, depicting a woman, albeit an amateur, in the role of artist.

Miniature portraits by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749–1803) are extraordinarily rare. Her depiction of Madame Lefranc Painting a Portrait of Her Husband Charles Lefranc was painted five years after she made her debut (1779). Like many other female artists, she realized early on that miniature portraits offered a steady source of income. She was a pupil of the Swiss enamellist François-Élie Vincent, a neighbour of her father’s fashion shop in Paris. Gradually Labille-Guiard also took up working with pastels. She frequently reproduced these works in a smaller format as miniatures. After her election to the French Royal Academy of Art in 1783, she switched over completely to large-scale oil portraits. By then, Labille-Guiard had acquired pupils such as Marie-Gabrielle Capet and Marie-Thérèse de Noireterre. It became their job to translate her portraits into miniature format to satisfy the ever-changing demands of customers.

The acquisition of this spectacular work by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, made possible by a generous donation from the Hjalmar and Anna Wicander Foundation, has filled a major gap in Nationalmuseum’s world-renowned miniatures collection. Madame Lefranc Painting a Portrait of Her Husband Charles Lefranc also documents a time when women began to emerge as serious artists.

Porträttminiatyr, av Adélaïde Labille-Guiard

Nationalmuseum har förvärvat en spektakulär miniatyr av Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. Hon tillhörde de mest betydande kvinnliga konstnärerna i Frankrike i slutet av 1700-talet, men var tidigare inte representerad i museets samlingar. Motivmässigt är hennes framställning i sig intressant eftersom den visar en kvinna, om än amatör, i rollen som konstnär.

Miniatyrporträtt av Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803) är utomordentligt sällsynta. Hennes framställning av Madame Lefranc målande porträttet av sin make Charles Lefranc, är utförd fem år efter debuten (1779). Precis som många andra kvinnor insåg hon tidigt att porträttminiatyrer gav en säker försörjning. Hennes lärare var en granne till faderns modebutik i Paris, den schweiziske emaljören François-Élie Vincent. Så småningom började Labille-Guiard också arbeta med pasteller. Inte sällan verkar hon även ha repeterat dessa i mindre format, som miniatyrer. Efter invalet år 1783, i den franska konstakademien, övergick hon helt till att måla oljeporträtt i stort format. Då hade Labille-Guiard också hunnit skaffa sig elever såsom Marie-Gabrielle Capet och Marie-Thérèse de Noireterre. Det föll nu på deras lott att översätta hennes porträtt till miniatyrer, allt för att tillfredställa kundernas skiftande önskemål.

Genom förvärvet av detta spektakulära verk av Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, som möjliggjorts genom donationsmedel ur Hjalmar och Anna Wicanders stiftelse, har en viktig lucka fyllts i museets världsberömda miniatyrsamling. Samtidigt berättar Madame Lefranc målande porträttet av sin make Charles Lefranc om en tid då kvinnor på allvar framträdde som betydande konstnärer.
