Hans Holbein's 1527 Portrait of William Warham. Holbein, like Ingres, did not place great emphasis on colour and instead worked best with dark, cool tones. This work can be seen as an influence on Ingres' portrait in his depiction of aging, and in the emphasis on the finely detailed fingers.
-
Balthasar Denner, Portrait of an Old Woman, Early 18th century. Denner was a revivalist of Eyckian realism and his attention to the effects of human aging reminded contemporary critics of the Bertin portrait.
-
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Portrait of Madame de Senonnes, 1814. In her relaxed pose and sumptuous surroundings, the sitter of Ingres' 1814 Portrait of Madame de Senonnes has been described as "to the feminine what the Louvre's Bertin is to the masculine."
-
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Portrait of Comte Louis-Mathieu Molé (1781–1855), 1834. Molé was a French statesman and 18th Prime Minister of France.
-
Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont (1797–1892), Engraving after the painting by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Portrait of Monsieur Bertin 1844.
-
Pablo Picasso, Portrait of Gertrude Stein, 1906. Although the literalness of Ingres was opposite to Picasso's modernist outlook, the influence of the Bertin portrait can be seen in the dismissive stare and overwhelming physical presence of Stein.

Famous quotes containing the word gallery:
“To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Each morning the manager of this gallery substituted some new picture, distinguished by more brilliant or harmonious coloring, for the old upon the walls.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
