"The Duchesse de Chartres as Hebe" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Jean-Marc Nattier, renowned for his portraiture and depictions of mythological themes. Created in 1744, this artwork exemplifies Nattier's skill in combining portraiture with allegorical subjects, a popular trend among the French nobility during the Rococo period. The painting portrays Louise Henriette de Bourbon, the Duchesse de Chartres, in the guise of Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth and cupbearer to the gods.

Nattier's depiction of the Duchesse is both a celebration of her beauty and a reflection of her status. Hebe was often associated with the eternal youth and rejuvenation, and by portraying the Duchesse as this deity, Nattier not only flatters his subject but also imbues the portrait with classical elegance and timeless grace. The artist's use of soft, pastel colors and his delicate rendering of fabrics and flesh tones are characteristic of his style and contribute to the overall ethereal quality of the piece.

The painting is notable for its intricate details, such as the depiction of the eagle of Zeus, which often accompanies Hebe in classical iconography. The Duchesse is shown offering a cup, presumably containing the nectar of the gods, which symbolizes her role as a gracious hostess and a figure of hospitality in her social circle.

"The Duchesse de Chartres as Hebe" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the Rococo style's fascination with mythological portraiture. It remains a testament to Nattier's reputation as a portraitist who could adeptly capture the likeness and personality of his subjects while seamlessly integrating them into the divine narratives of classical mythology. The painting is part of a larger body of Nattier's work that helped define the visual culture of the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the French Revolution.
