"Marguerite de France (1523-74)" is a portrait painting attributed to the studio of François Clouet, a renowned French Renaissance painter known for his detailed and realistic portraiture. The painting is believed to depict Marguerite de France, also known as Marguerite of Valois or Marguerite of France, Duchess of Berry (1523–1574), who was the daughter of King Francis I of France and Queen Claude of France.

The artwork is a product of the 16th century, a period when the French court was an influential center of art and culture in Europe. François Clouet, who succeeded his father Jean Clouet as the court painter, was a prominent figure in this milieu. Although the painting is attributed to Clouet's studio rather than to the master himself, it reflects the style and techniques characteristic of Clouet's work. This includes a meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of fabrics and textures, and a nuanced approach to capturing the sitter's personality and status.

Marguerite de France was a significant figure in the French Renaissance, not only as a member of the royal family but also as a patron of the arts and a participant in the intellectual movements of the time. The portrait is an important historical document, providing insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the French nobility, as well as the role of women in the cultural life of the period.

The painting is typically composed in the manner of Clouet's portraits, with Marguerite depicted against a neutral background that emphasizes her figure and attire. Her dress and adornments would have been carefully chosen to convey her royal status and refined taste. The portrait's provenance and the exact details of its commission are not fully documented, which is not uncommon for works from this era.

As an artwork from the studio of Clouet, "Marguerite de France (1523-74)" contributes to the understanding of the master's influence on his contemporaries and followers. It is a testament to the collaborative nature of art production during the Renaissance, where studios often consisted of several artists working under the direction of a master, contributing to the creation of artworks that were in high demand among the nobility and the wealthy bourgeoisie.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that specialize in French Renaissance art. It continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the period, the Clouet atelier, and the representation of women in historical portraiture.
