709. Theodore Sidney Moise (American/New Orleans, 1808-1885), “Portrait of Marie Françoise Jeanne Fortier (1851-1873)”, 1873, oil on canvas, signed and dated “Moise Oct. 73” lower right, 30 in. x 25 in., framed. $3000/5000 Provenance: Estate of Edvidge Marie Fortier. Descended in the family of the sitter. Note: Theodore Sidney Moise moved to New Orleans in 1842 and spent his subsequent years traveling throughout the South painting portraits of wealthy landowners and their families. The sitter in this portrait, Marie Françoise Jeanne Fortier, was the wife of Jean Michel Fortier, eldest son of Alexandre Septime Fortier and Félicité Emma Aimé and beloved grandson of noted planter Valcour Aimé (1798-1867). Jean Michel Fortier was raised at Le Petit Versailles, Valcour Aimé’s grand plantation in St. James Parish. Upon the marriage of Marie Françoise and Jean Michel Fortier, Valcour Aimé gifted the couple Felicity Plantation in Vacherie, St. James Parish. Jean Michel most likely commissioned this portrait to commemorate his wife’s death following the birth of their third child. The lovely Marie Françoise is depicted in all of her finery, her fashionable coral jewelry and striped silk scarf painted with exquisite detail.
