| Description |
English: François Pascal Simon Gérard, called Baron Gérard (Rome 1770 - 1837 Paris)
Though born in Rome, Baron Gérard spent most of his career in Paris, where he became one of the most sought-after portraitists of the European nobility. Here he has depicted Victoire Choiseul-Gouffier (1780-1827) elegantly set in a landscape, looking over her right shoulder. Choiseul-Gouffier was born Countess Potocka and descended from a Polish noble family whose seat was at Potok near Cracow. The Russian Emperor Paul I arranged her marriage at St. Petersburg in 1801 to Antoine Louis Octave de Choiseul Gouffier (1773-1840), son of his close advisor Marie Gabriel Florent Auguste de Choiseul Gouffier, former French Ambassador at Constantinople. The couple had three sons, Edouard, Alexandre Felix and Arthus Octavien, who perpetuated the Choiseul line in Russia. She later marriage General Alexis Nicolaevich Bakmetiev, governor of Bessarabia. The portrait dates to 1810. A copy after this picture was recorded by Ryskiewicz in the Hotel Lambert, Paris. |
