Description
This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

This portrait depicts a young woman of the French nobility in the final years of Louis XIV's reign. She wears a deep red bodice with lace trim and a ceremonial coat with royal blue highlights and gold embroidery, emblems of Versailles luxury and etiquette. Her hairstyle, adorned with pink ribbons, follows the codes of court fashion of the time, a hairstyle called à la Fontange.
The calm demeanor and direct gaze toward the viewer evoke a strong personality, albeit one framed by the strict customs of monarchical society. The overall effect exudes a harmony between elegance and simplicity, reflecting the idealized representation of women at the court of the Sun King.
Perhaps painted for a wedding or a social debut, this portrait illustrates the 17th-century taste for showcasing social status.
A wood frame and gilded stucco from the later Empire period. Oil on canvas, previously restored and relined. On view 68x56cm Frame 90x76.5cm
