Henriette d'Angleterre, 1644-70, Duchess of Orléans, is a distinguished portrait painted by the renowned French Baroque artist Pierre Mignard. This artwork captures the elegance and poise of Henriette d'Angleterre, also known as Henrietta of England, who was the youngest daughter of King Charles I of England and Queen Henrietta Maria. Born on June 16, 1644, in Exeter, England, Henriette fled to France with her mother during the English Civil War, where she was raised in the court of her cousin, King Louis XIV.

Pierre Mignard, celebrated for his refined and graceful portraiture, was a prominent figure in the French art scene of the 17th century. His ability to capture the delicate features and regal bearing of his subjects made him a favorite among the European aristocracy. In this portrait, Mignard masterfully employs his skills to depict Henriette d'Angleterre in a manner that reflects both her noble lineage and her personal charm.

The painting showcases Henriette in a sumptuous gown, adorned with intricate lace and rich fabrics that signify her high status. Her serene expression and composed demeanor are characteristic of Mignard's style, which often emphasized the inner nobility and grace of his subjects. The background of the portrait is typically understated, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on Henriette's visage and attire.

Henriette d'Angleterre's life was marked by her marriage to Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, the younger brother of Louis XIV, in 1661. As the Duchess of Orléans, she played a significant role in the political and cultural life of the French court. Her untimely death at the age of 26 in 1670 was a source of great sorrow and speculation, with rumors of poisoning adding a layer of intrigue to her legacy.

Mignard's portrait of Henriette d'Angleterre remains a testament to her beauty and the artistic prowess of the painter. It is a valuable piece that offers insight into the opulence and complexity of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV, as well as the personal story of a princess who bridged the royal houses of England and France.
