EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Francoise Louise de la Baume le Blanc, the Duchesse de Vaujour, also known as Mademoiselle de la Valliere. Painted by Claude Lefebvre (attributed to), this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 129x96 cm and is housed in the prestigious Château de Versailles in France. Francoise Louise was not only a duchess but also served as a maid of honor to Henriette d'Angleterre. However, it is her role as the mistress of Louis XIV that truly defines her legacy. The scandalous affair between Francoise and the king resulted in four children. In this portrait, she exudes an air of regal elegance and strength reminiscent of Diana, the huntress. Adorned in period costume with a veil cascading down her back, Francoise holds a quiver filled with arrows while clutching onto a bow. A loyal hound stands faithfully by her side, symbolizing both her love for hunting and perhaps hinting at her relationship with Louis XIV. Her ringlets frame her face delicately, adding to her allure as she gazes confidently into the distance. This portrayal captures not only Francoise's beauty but also reflects upon French aristocracy during this era. As we admire this exquisite piece from Fine Art Finder's collection without commercial intent or mention thereof, we are transported back in time to witness the grace and power embodied by one of history's most intriguing figures –
