Joséphine-Éléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn (1825–1860), Princesse de Broglie

Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, 1780–1867)

Date: 1851–1853

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

The Princesse of Broglie

The Princesse de Broglie (1825–1860), who adopted the courtesy title 'Princesse'. Born Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn, she married Albert de Broglie, the future 28th prime minister of France, in 1845. Pauline was 28 at the time of the painting's completion. She was highly intelligent and widely known for her beauty, but she suffered from profound shyness and the painting captures her melancholia. Pauline contracted tuberculosis in her early 30s and died in 1860 aged 35. Although Albert lived until 1901, he was heartbroken and did not remarry.

At first glance it might seem that I am classic, with my old school look. Make no mistake, I am soft but firm, strong and tall. I was chosen in an ocean blue color, which only exists in the eyes of only one, precious for the one who currently rests on me.

I am the blue sofa.

That Strange Blue Couch

Welcome to my first review! I've noticed how infamous this couch is, so I wanted to try and give it a fair judgement.

Starting off! The Look! (what's the vibe?)

Let's look at the positives first: I like the color, it's a bold ocean blue that would add a pop to any room. The puffs(?) in the couch makes it look like a cloud or a handful of blueberries, which is somewhat fun. These factors are stopping me from giving this sofa an even lower score on looks.

The NEGATIVES: The texture. Although I can only judge this from photos and videos, I start getting stressed when looking at the texture for too long. It has this kind of cross-hatching pattern that leaves small dots. It reminds me of velcro, but the unlikable kind that never sticks together well. If you decide to have any snacks on this couch, it will never be clean again. Those grooves could collect more crumbs than my dog when food gets dropped on the floor. That will also lead to bugs, yuck muck not fun, I'm not in the mood to share a couch with roach ranch.

5/10

Next up! The sit-ability (would I sit on this?)

I would give this couch a chance, from a glance I would want to sit on it. Would I ever get this for myself? no. From videos and photos, it doesn't seem that its rock solid and would hurt my butt. It does look comfy, however, I feel that I would have a difficult time finding a comfortable spot. Also if there were crumbs in those grooves, I'm sitting on the floor.

6/10

Finally! The nap-ability (would I nap on this?)

I really enjoy napping in the oddest of places: my floor, school desks, and tables. But I don't think I would nap on this. It reminds me of the inflatable beds but there is a hole but you never discover it until its too late. The sides seem not too bad, they're not at a sharp angle that some sofas have that will cause you to snap your neck while you sleep. Yet, it's the grooves and texture that will bug me, that would keep me up even if I'm already sleepy.

3/10

In total: 14/30

What do you think? What would you rate this couch?
