| Physical Description: | Oil painting of a young woman in court dress holding roses. Dress bodice is lacy; skirt and trim are rose colored. Painting is signed at lower left by A. U. Fitch, with notation "after Nattier." Painting is framed in a gold painted wood and plaster frame with fruit motifs. |
| Description: | Like many families of means, the Campbells filled their home with books, sculptures, music, art, and travel souvenirs. Grace Campbell participated in the Spokane Society of Washington Artists, enjoyed visits to the Louvre while in Paris, and collected a modest number of prints and paintings. This oil painting, "Portrait of Madame Louise de France", is likely a copy by Alice Underwood Fitch, of Jean Marc Nattier's famous romantic painting. Labels from Parisian art stores cover the back of the frame and stretcher, so the painting was likely a souvenir of the family's 1910 stay in Paris while daughter Helen attended school. |
