Original – At first Ingres refused to paint Marie-Clotilde-Inès Moitessier as he thought portrait painting was not as worthy as history painting. After he met her, however, he was so struck by how beautiful she was, that he agreed. This oil on canvas painting was acquired by the National Gallery in 1936.
