Painting Description
'''Gabrielle d'Estrées and One of Her Sisters''' is a well-known oil painting from circa 1595, attributed to an anonymous artist of the School of Fontainebleau. The painting depicts Gabrielle d'Estrées, the Duchess of Beaufort and Verneuil, and the mistress of King Henry IV of France, alongside one of her sisters, possibly her younger sister, the Duchess of Villars, in an intimate and enigmatic scene. The artwork is renowned for its delicate portrayal of the two women, as well as the mysterious gesture of the sister pinching Gabrielle's right nipple, a detail that has been the subject of much speculation among art historians.
The painting is a prime example of the late 16th-century French Renaissance, showcasing the period's fascination with allegory, symbolism, and the female form. The luxurious setting, the opulence of the fabrics, and the meticulous attention to detail reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the School of Fontainebleau, which blended Italian Mannerism with French artistic traditions.
Gabrielle d'Estrées is depicted sitting in a bathtub, gazing directly at the viewer, while her sister sits beside her, dressed in a lavish gown. The background of the painting features a seamstress working on a piece of clothing, which, along with other elements in the scene, may hold symbolic significance. The painting's enigmatic content, including the ambiguous gesture, has led to various interpretations, ranging from an indication of Gabrielle's pregnancy with the king's child to a representation of the closeness between the sisters.
The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris and remains a subject of fascination for its artistic merit as well as its historical context, offering a glimpse into the private lives of those within the inner circle of the French court at the turn of the 17th century.
