EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne-Louise-Benedicte de Bourbon, Duchess of Maine (1676-1753), is depicted in this elegant and ornate portrait wearing the latest fashion trends of the French Court during the early 18th century. The Duchess wears a tall Fontanges headdress, a popular style among the French nobility at the time, adorned with intricate lace and adorned with beauty spots on her cheeks. Her pearl choker and lace collar add an air of sophistication and refinement to her appearance. The Duchess's mantua, a long, fitted gown, is trimmed with luxurious fur, adding both warmth and opulence to her attire. Her petticoat, also trimmed with a band of fur, can be seen peeking out from beneath the mantua. In her hand, she holds a fur muff, a necessary accessory for keeping warm in the drafty French chateaux. The Duchess's bodice is adorned with intricate lace and a bow, adding a feminine touch to her regal appearance. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, is a stunning representation of the Duchess's beauty and elegance during her time as a celebrated figure at the French Court.
