 | | Ingres was a French painter, who was a leading figure in the neoclassical movement. |
 | | Moitessier (1851, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) and La Comtesse d'Haussonville (1845, Frick Collection, New York City) are outstanding examples, and M. Berlin (1832, Louvre) is considered one of the finest portraits of the 19th century. |
