EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Genevieve de Bourbon, Duchess of Longueville (1619-1679), is depicted in this elegant handcoloured copperplate engraving. The Duchess, who was also known as Princess of Conti, is shown wearing a fashionable blue satin dress with a lace collar and sleeves, and a bodice intricately laced with pearls. Her hair is styled in an elegant bun, with two locks casually tied in ribbons. The Duchess holds a fan and a handkerief in her hands, adding to the refined and graceful appearance of the portrait. This image is based on a drawing by Janet Clouet and was engraved by Georges Jacques Gatine for the publication "Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres" in Paris, 1827. The Duchess of Longueville was a prominent figure in French society during the 17th century, known for her beauty, intelligence, and political savvy. She was a patron of the arts and a supporter of the Jansenist movement, which advocated for a more austere and pious form of Catholicism. The Duchess's fashionable attire reflects the opulence and elegance of the French court during this period. The use of lace and pearls in her dress, as well as the intricate bun and ribbons in her hair, demonstrate the attention to detail and the importance of personal appearance in the aristocracy. Overall, this portrait captures the essence of the Duchess of Longueville as a sophisticated and stylish noblewoman of the French court.
