1804, Jacques-Louis David, Portrait of Suzanne Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau -- Getty Museum (Los Angeles)
From the museum label: This portrait is one of the few private commissions David accepted once he began working regularly for Napoléon. Suzanne Le Peletier (1782-1829), the daughter of a martyr of the French Revolution, sat for this painting at the time of her engagement to her second husband. The painting's straightforward pose, limited colors, and small size focus attention on Le Peletier's intimate, tender gaze.
