Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803)
"Portrait of Madame Charles Mitoire with Her Children" (1783)
Pastel, on three sheets of blue paper, mounted on canvas
Neoclassical
Located in the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California, United States
This is no ordinary portrait of an eighteenth-century lady, for Madame Mitoire here bears a breast to nurse her infant son Charles-Benoît. Though its composition echoes traditional representations of the Holy Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist, this portrait also signals the modernity of its subject and her approach to motherhood. Published in 1762, Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s celebrated Enlightenment treatise on education and child-rearing, "Émile," implored women of all classes to cultivate more intimate bonds with their children and, above all, to breast-feed them personally, rather than retaining the services of a wet nurse, as most wealthy families did at the time. A vogue for breast-feeding swept Europe, and genteel women retreated from public life, into the domestic sphere to fulfill what Rousseau called “their first duty." Depicting a nursing mother, the portrait may also allude to Rousseau’s recommendations in its presentation of the infant, unencumbered by swaddling clothes (of which Rousseau strongly disapproved), and perhaps also in its inclusion of a glass of wine on the table at left (Rousseau’s tract draws a contrast between milk, “our first nourishment,” and wine, an acquired taste).
