 Ingres was more successful with female than male portraits . His 1814 Portrait of Madame de <unk> was described as " to the feminine what the Louvre 's Bertin is to the masculine " . The sitter for his 1848 Portrait of <unk> de Rothschild looks out at the viewer with the same <unk> as Bertin , but is softened by her attractive dress and relaxed pose ; she is engaging and sympathetic rather than tough and imposing .
