La Belle Chocolatière by Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss) - Pastel on parchment / c. 1743-1744 - Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Dresden, Germany) #womeninart #art #chocolate #pastel #artwork #realism #womensart #fineart #pastelpainting #Jean-ÉtienneLiotard #Liotard #SwissArtist #GemäldegalerieAlteMeister
The Chocolate Girl (aka La Belle Chocolatière or Das Schokoladenmädchen) is one of the most prominent pastels of the Genevan artist Jean-Étienne Liotard. In fact, many of the artist’s contemporaries classed “The Chocolate Girl” as his masterpiece. It depicts a young fair-skinned woman, in profile, carrying a dark tray with a porcelain chocolate cup on a "galleried" silver saucer next to a clear glass of water. The cup in which the chocolate is served is a trembleuse, originally used by people with shaking hands to avoid spilling, but in the 18th century strongly associated with drinking chocolate, which was then brewed rather strong and frothy. Around the saucer is some beige material, perhaps food or a napkin. Theories concerning the girl's pink headdress run from a cap cover to an echo of the colorful regional caps. The girl's apron features a small light brown bodice. On February 3, 1745, Italian writer and art collector Francesco Algarotti purchased the painting directly from Liotard in Venice. By February 13, 1751, it was part of the collection of August III of Poland who wrote to his friend Pierre-Jean Mariette: “I have bought a pastel picture about three feet high by the celebrated Liotard. It shows a young German chambermaid in profile, carrying a tray with a glass of water and a cup of chocolate. The picture is almost devoid of shadows, with a pale background, the light being furnished by two windows reflected in the glass. It is painted in half-tones with imperceptible graduations of light and with a perfect modeling...and although it is a European picture it could appeal to the Chinese who, as you know, are sworn enemies of shadows. With regard to the perfection of the work, it is a Holbein in pastel.” Though normally described as a "maid", it is believed that the model was a banker's daughter from Vienna: Charlotte Baldauf, later Countess Drietrichstein.
