サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「A face only Marie Antoinette could love? Although very little is known of the French artist Jacques Barthelemy Delamarre, he seemed to have a particular specialty for capturing the likeness of this small dog—a painting of which saw frenzied bidding on Friday at #SothebysNewYork. Originally offered without reserve alongside an estimate of $3-5,000, the painting soared to a final price of $279,400. Said to be “Pompon,” a beloved pet of Marie Antoinette’s, Delamarre painted several versions of this canine portrait, each of which varied slightly in composition, for example in the dog’s size and state of grooming as well as the accompanying objects. There is some debate over the breed of dog, which has been described in the past as a poodle, a Cavalier King Charles and a löwchen. What do you think?」5月29日 1時40分
