Object Details
- Artist
- Romaine Brooks, born Rome, Italy 1874-died Nice, France 1970
- Sitter
- Madame Errazuris
- Exhibition Label
- Madame Errázuriz is an early example of what would become Brooks's main artistic focus -- portraits of specific individuals. Eugenia Huici Arguedas de Errázuriz was an influential interior designer known for her reductivist aesthetic. Many of the hallmarks of Brooks's later portraiture are evident in the combination of respect and humor tinged with satire. Madame Errázuriz appears nearly overwhelmed by her ostentatious outfit as she gazes confidently (and slightly arrogantly) at the viewer.
