Original Description
Countesses Thun von Hohenstein by Wincenty de Lesseur is a captivating pastel portrait that exudes 18th-century aristocratic elegance. Created around 1790, this delicate double portrait depicts two noblewomen in exquisite Rococo-inspired attire, their pale complexions and refined postures radiating quiet sophistication. De Lesseur, a Polish artist influenced by French portrait traditions, masterfully captures the soft textures of silk ribbons, lace collars, and powdered hairstyles with his precise pastel technique. The sisters' contrasting expressions – one demure, one more vivacious – create subtle psychological tension beneath the pastel's powdered surface. As one of few preserved works by this understudied artist, it offers a rare glimpse into Central European portraiture during the Enlightenment era, bridging French Rococo grace with emerging Neoclassical restraint. The faint blush on their cheeks and the crackling patina of aged pastel only enhance its historical charm.
For interior styling, this portrait's muted palette of powder blues, creamy ivories, and blush pinks makes it ideal for spaces with Louis XVI-style furniture or transitional neoclassical decor. Consider framing it in a delicate giltwood frame with floral motifs to complement its Rococo roots, displayed in a reception room or bedroom with soft, diffused lighting. The 25×20 inch size suits above a console table or writing desk, where viewers can appreciate the intricate details. Pair with celadon-green upholstery or duck-egg blue walls to echo the pastel tones, while matte gold accents will harmonize with the portrait's warmer hues. In a study or home library, it would create an inspirational dialogue with leather-bound books and brass desk accessories, its aristocratic elegance elevating modern minimalist spaces as a striking contrast piece. The double portrait composition makes it particularly effective for symmetrical spaces between matching sconces or architectural niches.
