Hippolyte Coté, Portrait Of A Woman In A Black Silk Gown Geometric There’s a real joy inThis elegant mid 19th century portrait by French artist Hippolyte Cot (1816 1874), depicts a young Frenchwoman in a black silk gown. Painted in 1859, during the early flourishing of the Second Empire, it was captured at a moment when the world around her was quietly transforming with the rise of the cultivated bourgeoisie. With an expression entirely serene, and her posture impeccably composed, nothing here feels theatrical or over embellished.
