| Description |
Français : Portrait de la jeune princesse Louise d'Artois, fille de la duchesse de Berry, future duchesse de Parme (1819-1864) sur la plage de Dieppe.
La jeune princesse est représentée à l'âge de 11 ans, vêtue d'un costume de bain blanc : une robe aux manches gigots faite de mousseline de soie, une culotte longue, des bas brodés à l’apparence d’écailles, des souliers de satin élégamment noués à ses chevilles, des gants de chevreau beige. Elle tient un chapeau de paille décoré d'un ruban rose. Elle pose fièrement sur la fameuse plage de galet de Dieppe, toute première station balnéaire de France rendue célèbre par sa mère qui avait découvert quelques années auparavant les plaisirs de la baignade. C’est aussi l’époque des premières cabines de bain que l’artiste ne manque pas de représenter au second-plan de notre tableau. Le changement de tenue s’effectuait dans des cabines mobiles, des tentes à rayures installées sur des charrettes tirées par des chevaux jusqu’au bord de l’eau, dont on devine ici derrière le modèle la volée de marches de bois qui permettait d’y accéder.English: Portrait of the Young Princess Louise d'Artois, Daughter of the Duchess of Berry, future Duchess of Parma (1819-1864) on the Beach at Dieppe.
The artist depicted the young princess at the beach of Dieppe at age 11. The young girl’s innocence at age 11 is illustrated through the white bathing costume characteristic of Romantic fashion in the 1830s. The dress, with puffed (“leg-of-mutton”) sleeves definitively ending Empire style fashion, is of silk muslin over long drawers and stockings with embroidered scalloped edges clothing her small feet in their satin slippers elegantly tied around her ankles. She poses proudly on Dieppe’s famous shingle beach, the very first sea resort in France. The first beach cabins, which the artist shows in the mid ground of our painting, appeared at this time. One changed one’s attire in these mobile cabins and striped tents which were installed on carts pulled by horses to the edge of the water. Here behind the sitter can be detected a flight of their wooden steps. |
