The Norton Simon Museum of Art in Pasadena has announced that Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Comtesse d’Haussonville (1845) has arrived on loan from The Frick Collection in New York. The portrait, the first loan from the Frick in an art exchange program between the two institutions, will be exhibited October 30, 2009–January 25, 2010. The loan is also a starting point for the Museum’s exhibitions Gaze: Portraiture after Ingres (October 30, 2009–April 5, 2010) and The Familiar Face: Portrait Prints by Rembrandt (December 4, 2009–March 22, 2010).
