Marie-Denise Villers Art Print – Marie Joséphine Charlotte du Val d'Ognes – Feminist Neoclassical Portrait

Bold, mysterious, and quietly rebellious, Marie-Denise Villers’ Marie Joséphine Charlotte du Val d’Ognes (1801) breaks the mold of traditional female portraiture in 19th-century art. Long mistaken for a work by a male artist, this striking painting features a young woman gazing directly at the viewer with unflinching intelligence, seated alone with a drawing tool, suggesting artistic agency in an era when women were rarely acknowledged as creators. Both elegant and provocative, the portrait hints at a subtle defiance, making it a powerful feminist icon. This high-quality art print is perfect for those who appreciate hidden histories, daring women, and timeless, conversation-starting wall art.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.

Printed on heavy 60lb matte photo paper with a soft white finish, this piece offers exceptional detail and ink vibrancy. The acid-free surface ensures longevity, while the 10 mil thickness gives it a luxurious feel worthy of fine art.
