French ca. 1890 This porcelain figure of Madame de Recamier is in excellent condition. Beautifully depicted in gold and classic porcelain. This porcelain piece is fully intact; fingers, toes, and even nose. This delicately decorated piece is fabulously detailed, from the ruffles in the pillows to the falling gold fabric of her gown. Madame de Recamier, also known as Juliette Recamier, the darling of Europe, was an icon of neoclassicism and created an image of herself as beauty and muse that spread around Europe.
