EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical medal captures the likeness of Louise Renee de Querouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth, a prominent figure in the Restoration era. Crafted by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, this silver print showcases the intricate artistry and attention to detail prevalent during that time.

The Latin phrase "omnia vincit" or "love conquers all" further emphasizes her power and allure. The image itself is a testament to both artistic skill and political commentary. Satirical elements are evident in the portrayal of Louise Renee de Querouaille, with exaggerated features highlighting her controversial role as a mistress.
