Gabrielle d'Estrees, the captivating mistress of King Henry IV of France, was a woman of beauty and influence during the late 16th century. In this portrait by an anonymous artist, we see Gabrielle alongside one of her sisters, the duchesse de Villars. The Master of the School of Fontainebleau skillfully captures their elegance and grace. With her blonde hair tied in a pearl lattice and adorned with a three-tier lace ruff collar, Gabrielle exudes regal charm. Her dress features slashed sleeves and is cinched at the waist with a corset, emphasizing her slender figure. It's no wonder she caught the eye of King Henry IV. In another colored engraving, we witness Gabrielle's allure as she gazes into the distance. The fireplace behind her sets an intimate backdrop in Salle Des Gardes at Chateau D'Anet in France. This black-and-white photo transports us back to that era when passion burned brightly within these walls. The engravings further highlight Gabrielle's enchanting presence as she captivated not only King Henry IV but also artists who sought to immortalize her beauty on canvas or paper. One such portrait from around 1590 depicts Gabrielle with an air of mystery surrounding her delicate features. A later portrayal from 1907 showcases Gabrielle's timeless appeal as it captures her essence before 1600. Even though centuries have passed since then, there is still something captivating about this woman who held such power over one of history's most renowned kings. Finally, Dumoustier's artistic interpretation presents us with yet another glimpse into Gabrielle d'Estrees' world—a world where beauty reigned supreme and love knew no bounds. Alongside one of her sisters once again, this painting conveys their close bond while showcasing their undeniable allure. Gabrielle d'Estrees remains an enigmatic figure whose legacy lives on through these artistic representations.
