'''Marguerite de Valois (1553-1615) c.1572''' is a portrait painting attributed to a follower of François Clouet, a renowned French Renaissance painter. The painting is believed to depict Marguerite de Valois, also known as Marguerite of France and Queen Margot, who was a French princess of the Valois dynasty and later became Queen of Navarre and France through her marriages to Henry IV of France.

Marguerite de Valois was born on May 14, 1553, as the daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. She was known for her beauty, intelligence, and her involvement in the political and cultural life of the French court. The painting, dated around 1572, captures Marguerite during her youth, before her eventual marriages and the turbulent events that marked her life, including the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre and her complex relationship with her husband and her family.

The artwork is executed in the style of François Clouet, who served as the official court painter to King Henry II and later to his sons. Clouet was celebrated for his detailed and realistic portraits of the French nobility, and his followers continued his tradition of capturing the elegance and refinement of their subjects. While the painting is not directly attributed to Clouet himself, the influence of his style and technique is evident in the delicate rendering of Marguerite's features, the intricate details of her attire, and the poised, dignified representation befitting a princess of France.

The portrait of Marguerite de Valois is an important historical and artistic document, offering insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the French Renaissance court, as well as the personal likeness of one of its most intriguing figures. The painting is a testament to the enduring legacy of François Clouet's school of portraiture and its impact on the visual culture of the period.
