Painting Description
"Portrait of a Lady, Traditionally Identified as the Duchesse Françoise Marie de Bourbon (Mademoiselle de Blois), Wife of Philippe, Regent of France, Standing Three-Quarter-Length, in a Blue Dress" is a significant work by the French painter Nicolas de Largillierre (1656–1746). This portrait, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, is a testament to Largillierre's mastery in capturing the elegance and opulence of the French aristocracy during the reign of Louis XIV and the Regency period that followed.
The painting depicts a woman traditionally identified as Françoise Marie de Bourbon, the Duchess of Orléans, who was the legitimised daughter of Louis XIV and his mistress, Madame de Montespan. She became the wife of Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, who served as the Regent of France during the minority of Louis XV. The subject is shown standing in a three-quarter-length pose, which was a common format for formal portraiture of the time, allowing the artist to showcase the sitter's attire and status while still providing a sense of their personality and demeanor.
Largillierre, renowned for his portraiture, demonstrates his skill in the rendering of textures and materials, from the luxurious blue dress adorned with intricate lace and embroidery to the sumptuous background that complements the sitter's stature. The choice of blue for the dress may allude to the subject's noble status, as the color was often associated with royalty and nobility.
The painting is not only a work of art but also a historical document, providing insights into the fashion, culture, and societal norms of the French elite at the turn of the 18th century. It reflects the grandeur of the period and the importance placed on lineage, power, and presentation.
While the identification of the sitter as the Duchesse Françoise Marie de Bourbon is traditional, it is important to note that such identifications were often based on historical records, provenance, and stylistic analysis, and may be subject to scholarly debate and revision. Regardless of the sitter's precise identity, this portrait remains an important example of Nicolas de Largillierre's portraiture and the broader context of European aristocratic portraiture of the era.
