Jeanne de Bourgogne is a 1828 ink by Achille Devéria, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a portrait of a woman. She is dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist likely chose these clothes to show her status, which is an interesting detail about this work. The woman's expression is calm and serene. The artist used simple lines to draw her face and clothes. You can learn more about how this was made by looking into the technique: lithography.
Achille Jacques-Jean-Marie Devéria (6 February 1800 – 23 December 1857) was a French painter and lithographer known for his portraits of famous writers and artists.
