Juliane Elise Larpent, née Mathiesen, painted by Louis Aumont in 1827. The portrait of Juliane Elise by top portraitist Aumont was possibly painted when she became of age to marry, or as newly engaged - the way she displays the ring on her left hand makes it a plausible marriage motif. It’s painted two years before she married Isaac Larpent. The portrait shows her in a black dress with narrow waist, scissor draped bodice front, gigot sleeves and with prominent gold jewellery. The belt buckle is particularly interesting, as it survived until recent years as a family heirloom. The black dress has a striking similarity to a greyish blue dinner dress dated to ca. 1830, and sold through Cora Ginsburg in New York in 2017. The scissor draped front, narrow waist and gigot sleeves corresponds well, and it even has a corresponding belt buckle. -- source link
