The silent grace of an inner face

Created in the 19th century by Hippolyte Flandrin, a student of Dominique Ingres and master of French classicism, The Florentine Study – also known under the title Young Girl in Bust, Eyes Lowered – is a work of striking purity, full of softness, restraint, and inwardness. This portrait, both simple and deeply moving, captures the essence of meditative femininity, far from any ostentation.

A masterpiece of delicacy and contemplation

A humble pose, an inward gaze

The young girl is depicted three-quarters, bust-length, with eyes delicately lowered, in an attitude of calm and contemplation. The features of her face are of great delicacy, the clear, almost diaphanous skin contrasts with the carefully pinned-up brown hair, in a sober and timeless style.

Flandrin, faithful to the neoclassical ideal, eliminates all superfluous decoration. The neutral background allows the gaze to focus on the serenity of the face, the soft light, and the quiet beauty of the model. One senses a Florentine influence, an echo of Italian Renaissance portraits, but transposed into a French romantic sensibility.

A study work that became a work of art

Although it was originally a study, probably made during Flandrin's stay in Italy, this canvas is now considered a masterpiece of French academic painting, and a model of sobriety and pictorial elegance.
