EDITORS COMMENTS

This black and white albumen print by Pierre-Louis Pierson showcases Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione, a captivating figure who epitomized beauty and style during her time. Dressed in a magnificent crinoline gown with a hooped skirt, Countess Castiglione stands tall and regal against the backdrop of an idyllic country setting. Her full-length attire exudes sophistication, reflecting the opulence of French fashion at that time. Pierson's meticulous photography skillfully captures every intricate detail - from the layers of petticoats to the delicate lace adorning her dress. The countess' gaze is both alluring and mysterious, drawing viewers into her world. This image serves as a testament to both Italian and French heritage, showcasing how artistry transcends borders. It is no wonder that this photograph has found its home within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through "Aux écoutes" we are transported back in time to witness not only an exquisite portrayal of aristocracy but also a glimpse into society's fascination with beauty and luxury during this era. Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione remains forever immortalized through Pierson's lens as an icon whose allure continues to captivate audiences even today.
