Beauty embalmed in a painting Sebastian Smee © The Frick Collection Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (b. 1780). Comtesse d’Haussonville, 1845. On view at the Frick Collection. The Comtesse d’Haussonville the subject of this portrait at the Frick Collection was unusually beautiful. She was also morbidly conscious of her effect on others, perhaps because she never got over the death of her sister at 14. “I was destined,” she later wrote, “to beguile, to attract, to seduce, and in the final reckoning to cause suffering in all those who sought their happiness in me.” Louise de Broglie, as she was still then known, was in her 20s when she met the great neo-Classicist painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in Rome. She fell in love not with Ingres, who was in his 60s, but with a painting in his studio and asked him to paint her portrait. Though Ingres had hoped that his days of portrait commissions were over, he reluctantly agreed.
