The Laurel Wreath Odalisque subtly revisits one of history's most powerful emblems: the laurel wreath, a symbol of triumph and grandeur. Worn by emperors and poets, it embodies both imperial prestige and artistic excellence. In a neo-classical spirit dear to the 19th century, this motif recalls the Napoleonic era, when Caroline Murat, sister of the Emperor and Queen of Naples, cultivated a refined taste for revisited Antiquity. The laurel, then omnipresent in the decorations of the Empire, adorned textiles, furniture and frescoes, affirming splendor and order. Here, the simplicity of the design enhances the nobility of the plant: a discreet ribbon and a powder pink that evokes the hushed salons of elegant women.
