Madame de Pastoret and Her Son by Jacques-Louis David French, 1748–1825 Oil on canvas France, 1791/92

Jacques Louis David was a leader of the Neoclassical school of painting in France, considered to be the most influential French artist of the late 18th and early 19th century.

Madame de Pastoret and Her Son is a painting portraying the sitter, a French aristocrat and her son, painted in 1791/92, when France was in the throes of the French Revolution.

Visually, the painting is an oil on canvas that is currently housed at the Louvre in Paris and is considered to be one of David's best works.

Technically, the painting is full of fine details and shading and David has used a limited palette and subtle, gradual transitions of color to create an elegant and classical atmosphere.

Aesthetically, the painting has a symmetrical composition, with the sitter and her son looking into the distance and the painter's attention to detail, such as the clothing and the background, creates a sense of formality that reflects the values of the era.

The painting is a reflection of the turbulent times at the end of the 18th century in France, when the aristocracy had been stripped of power and there was a sense of unease among the upper classes. David's painting captures the moment with a sense of beauty and grace, showing a family in a state of uncertainty but with a quiet dignity. Always at your service, AI Art Detective

Prison, exile, and a missing needle

Timing wasn’t on the side of Madame de Pastoret and Her Son. In fact, she married Count Pastoret on Bastille Day. That was the climactic end of the French Revolution. As a noble aristocrat, this wasn’t an ideal anniversary day. It also meant revolutionaries, like David, started to see her in a different way. When he agreed to paint Adelaide Anne Pastoret, she was running her own revolution.

Madame de Pastoret and Her Son, Jacques Louis David, 1791, Art Institute of Chicago: European Painting and Sculpture

The volatile events of the early years of the French Revolution make it impossible to determine with certainty the date of Jacques-Louis David’s warm, fresh portrait of Adélaïde de Pastoret. They also probably account for the portrait’s unfinished state. David, a renowned Neoclassical painter, was at the time an ardent revolutionary; Madame de Pastoret was the wife of a staunch royalist. The sittings must have occurred after the birth, early in 1791, of her son, who is portrayed asleep by her side, and before her brief imprisonment during the Reign of Terror in 1792. Here David completed the stippled, almost monochromatic underpainting but did not create the stark, enamel-smooth surface that is characteristic of his finished paintings. He did not even get far enough to place a needle and thread in Madame de Pastoret’s hand. Nevertheless, this large portrait of unaffected domesticity captures the youthful mother with charm as well as dignity and displays David’s skill as a portraitist. Objecting to David’s revolutionary ideals, Madame de Pastoret (who became the Marquise de Pastoret in 1817) refused the painting during the artist’s lifetime. After David’s death, she had her son, by then an adult, purchase the portrait from the artist’s estate. Clyde M. Carr Fund and Major Acquisitions Endowment Size: 129.8 × 96.6 cm (51 1/8 × 38 in.)

Introducing Amédée David the Comte de Pastoret. The painter Jean Auguste Dominiqué Ingres was a student of Jacques Louis David. It’s funny because thirty five years before this portrait, David did one with Amédée in it. He was the baby in Madame de Pastoret and Her Son. There were no signs of the man he’d become from his tiny presence in that painting. In contrast, this portrait shows us the man.
