Pastoret likely played a role in Ingres\u2019s admission to the Acad\u00e9mie des Beaux-Arts, and here he is seen wearing the embroidered black uniform reflective of his role as auditor for the Council of State. The shimmering Legion of Honor medal hung high around his neck with a red ribbon and the exquisitely detailed golden sword hilt alleviate the somber darkness of his costume. Pastoret stands outlined against forest-green silk wallpaper and a swag of matching drapery, with one hand resting on his hip and the other thumb tucked casually into his jacket. With confidence and swagger\u2014and a less-than-subtle air of disinterest\u2014Pastoret stares directly at the viewer with the grandeur typical of Ingres\u2019s aristocratic portraits.<\/p>\n<p>This painting stayed with Pastoret\u2019s family until the death of his daughter in 1890, and in 1897 it was purchased by the famed Impressionist painter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artic.edu\/artists\/40543\/hilaire-germain-edgar-degas\">Edgar Degas<\/a>. Ingres was a consistent source of artistic inspiration for Degas, himself a portraitist who owned some twenty paintings and over eighty drawings by the older artist. Degas kept this likeness of Pastoret in his art collection until his own death in 1917.<\/p>\n","short_description":"This portrait by French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres depicts the young count Am\u00e9d\u00e9e-David de Pastoret at 32 years old. One of several paintings he commissioned from Ingres, the portrait highlights the nobleman\u2019s status and swagger. Posing confidently in his finest garments and wearing a medal of the Order of the Legion of Honor, he gazes directly at the viewer with a stern expression.","dimensions":"103 \u00d7 83.5 cm (40 1\/2 \u00d7 32 3\/4 in.); Framed: 129.6 \u00d7 110.2 cm (51 \u00d7 43 3\/8 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":83,"height":103,"diameter":null,"clarification":null},{"depth":null,"width":110,"height":129,"diameter":null,"clarification":"Framed"}],"medium_display":"Oil on canvas","inscriptions":null,"credit_line":"Estate of Dorothy Eckhart Williams; Robert Allerton, Bertha E.
