La Princesse de Cleves Ceramic Ornament

A ceramic ornament featuring a richly colored print of an original oil portrait inspired by La Princesse de Clèves. Rendered in an elegant late-sixteenth-century court palette, the design captures her reserve, moral clarity, and luminous inner turmoil: qualities that have made her one of French literature’s most enduring and fascinating heroines. Perfect as a gift for lovers of Madame de Lafayette or collectors of little literary objets d’art. 3" ceramic ornament (with gold string).

THE LITERARY PORTRAITS COLLECTION: The ornaments in this collection are inspired by the great and enduring heroines and heroes of classic literature who have shaped our imaginations, as well as a handful of charismatic historical figures who have shaped the world. The originals were painted in oils in the style of the intimacy and charm of historical portrait miniatures, and these ceramic prints capture the same feel. Whether displayed year-round or brought out especially for the season, these little illustrations of big personalities bring your favorite tomes of history and fiction to life.
