Original Description
The captivating marble bust Jeanne de l'Orme de l'Isle by Joseph Chinard (1756–1813) embodies the lyrical elegance of Neoclassical portraiture, carved around 1803–05 during Napoleon's reign when Chinard flourished as Lyon's premier sculptor. This delicate portrayal of a young noblewoman demonstrates Chinard's mastery – her softly parted lips and gently tilted head exude intimacy, wrapped in a diaphanous shawl whose stone folds seem to flutter. Unlike rigid imperial portraits, Chinard’s work whispers Romantic sensibility through exquisite details: ribbons threaded through braids, fabric cascading asymmetrically, and quiet individualism amidst strict classical proportions. As one of only three signed Chinard marbles in the U.S. (now at The Met), this piece bridges 18th-century grace and Empire severity, making it pivotal for understanding French sculpture's evolution from Rococo playfulness to structured emotion.
For contemporary display, position this 26-inch-high bust where natural light grazes its pearly Carrara surface—perhaps on a demilune console against warm gray walls in a study, or spotlighted in a corporate lobby alongside clean-lined Empire furniture. Its intimate scale suits eye-level placement; pair with gilded mirrors or malachite objets to echo the greenish marble veins. In minimalist interiors, let it anchor a tonal vignette with matte ceramics and trailing ivy, allowing Chinard’s virtuosic drapery to command attention. For bolder settings, juxtapose its cool whiteness against navy velvet or burgundy lacquer, maintaining a 4-foot clearance for optimal viewing. As Chinard intended, this sculpture rewards close contemplation—position it where viewers can admire the paradoxical softness of immortalized stone.
