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.

• Comment – I guess The Turkish Bath is Ingres' most widely known work, and justly so. Somehow I find this one underwhelming in comparison. Sca (talk) 21:01, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
