"Portrait presumed to be Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise de Montespan" is a notable artwork attributed to the French Baroque painter Pierre Mignard (1612–1695). The painting is believed to depict Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart (1640–1707), who is historically recognized as the Marquise de Montespan and one of the most influential maîtresses-en-titre of King Louis XIV of France. The portrait is undated, but stylistic elements suggest it was created during the latter half of the 17th century, a period when Mignard was at the height of his artistic career and when the Marquise de Montespan was at the zenith of her influence at the French court.

The artwork is a quintessential example of Mignard's portraiture, showcasing his mastery of capturing the elegance and grace of his subjects, which made him a favored portraitist among the French aristocracy. In the painting, the Marquise de Montespan is depicted with the refined attire and poised demeanor befitting her status as a prominent figure in the royal court. Her expression and the soft rendering of her features are characteristic of Mignard's approach to portraiture, which often imbued his subjects with an idealized beauty.

While the painting's provenance and the certainty of its subject's identity may be a matter of scholarly debate, the portrait is nonetheless an important work within the oeuvre of Pierre Mignard and a valuable piece for understanding the visual culture and representation of the French elite during the reign of Louis XIV. The portrait not only offers insight into the artistic conventions of the time but also into the social and political dynamics of the French court, as the Marquise de Montespan was a central figure in the king's life and the cultural landscape of the era.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in several museums, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of 17th-century French portraiture. As with many historical artworks, the attribution and presumed identity of the sitter add layers of intrigue and scholarly interest to the portrait, making it a subject of continued research and discussion in art historical circles.
