PROUST, Jeanne née Weil (1849-1905), mère de Marcel et de Robert Proust.
Photograph of Jeanne Proust by Paul Nadar, period silver print. Round photograph (15.9 cm diameter), mounted on paper with the photographer's name on it. Stamp from Madame Mante-Proust's collection. The portrait was taken on December 5, 1904 a few months after the death of her husband Adrien Proust (November 26, 1903). This portrait is known for the retouching that Nadar did to erase the natural defects that aged her face. This portrait is notably reproduced in the Proust Album (NRF, Bibliothèque de la pléiade, 1965, p.210).
