"Portrait de Françoise Laurette Randon de Malboissière, en Melpomène" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Louis-Michel Van Loo (1707–1771). This portrait is a notable example of Van Loo's mastery in depicting the aristocracy of his time, showcasing his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of elegance and grandeur. The painting portrays Françoise Laurette Randon de Malboissière as Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy, which is a common allegorical theme in portraiture of the period, where sitters were often depicted as mythological or historical figures.

Louis-Michel Van Loo, a member of the prolific Van Loo family of painters, was a prominent portraitist at the French court and is known for his refined style and sophisticated use of color. His works are characterized by their detailed representation of fabrics and textures, as well as the lifelike portrayal of his subjects. The "Portrait de Françoise Laurette Randon de Malboissière, en Melpomène" exemplifies these qualities, with the sitter adorned in classical attire and a tragic mask, symbolizing her association with the dramatic arts.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value, providing insight into the ideals of beauty and the role of portraiture in 18th-century French society. As an artifact of its time, the portrait reflects the Enlightenment's fascination with classical antiquity and the ways in which the elite of French society identified themselves with the virtues and attributes of ancient figures.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during the height of Van Loo's career, when he was serving as a court painter. The artwork remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Louis-Michel Van Loo and contributes to the understanding of the artistic conventions and social customs of the French Enlightenment.
