Antique French Chromolithograph Portrait of Countess Potocka

An enchanting 19th-century French chromolithograph capturing the timeless beauty of the celebrated Countess Potocka, a muse of elegance and refinement in European high society. Printed with softly layered tones and delicate coloration, this portrait evokes the grace of a bygone age — where art, fashion, and sentiment were beautifully intertwined.  This image was printed as postcards both in France and Germany, this, however, is a "portrait print" meant for framing. The print is ideal for a narrow, vertical frame — perfect for adornment in a powder room, boudoir, or among a salon wall of small portraits.

The Countess, draped in flowing silks and surrounded by a gentle, painterly atmosphere, embodies the romantic ideals of the French salon. Richly detailed and masterfully printed, the chromolithograph possesses a soft luminosity. A piece that whispers of Parisian boudoirs, grand estates, and the artistry of la belle époque — this portrait lends an air of poetry and sophistication to any French-inspired interior.

  • Measures 3-5/8" x 5-5/8".
