1. Title: Gaston Jean Baptiste de Roquelaure (1615-1683), Duke of Roquelaure: Grandmaster of the Garde-Robe of King Louis XIV 2. Description: This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases Gaston Jean Baptiste de Roquelaure, the Duke of Roquelaure, in his regal attire as the Grandmaster of the Garde-Robe (Royal Wardrobe) for King Louis XIV of France. The portrait, originally painted by Bonnard, is taken from the renowned publication "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Le Bibliophile Jacob, published in Paris in 1852. Gaston Jean Baptiste de Roquelaure was a prominent figure at the French court during the reign of Louis XIV. He held the prestigious position of Grandmaster of the Garde-Robe, responsible for managing the wardrobe and personal belongings of the King. His influence extended beyond the royal household, as he was also a trusted advisor and confidant to the monarch. The intricately designed costume in the portrait reflects the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the Ancien Régime. The Duke is depicted wearing a richly embroidered robe, adorned with gold and silver threads, and a matching cape. The elaborate collar and cuffs add to the grandeur of the ensemble, while the sash across his chest bears the insignia of his position. The Duke's hat, known as a "bonnet de police," is also decorated with gold and ermine fur. The meticulously handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of the period, providing a glimpse into the fashion and courtly life of 17th-century France. This image serves as a testament to the Duke's importance at the French court and the grandeur of the era.
