EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 17th century engraving captures a moment of leisurely delight as the young King Louis XIV of France, also known as the "Grand Dauphin," takes a stroll in the open air with his charming nieces, the Mancini sisters. The daughters of Cardinal Jules Mazarin, the powerful chief minister of France during the reign of Louis XIV's father, King Louis XIII, the Mancini sisters were an integral part of the French court. In this image, Hortense Mancini, the elder sister, is depicted in a vibrant red dress, while her younger sister, Maria Mancini, is dressed in a beautiful blue gown. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The young king, with a confident and regal air, is seen in his military attire, a testament to his status as the heir to the throne. The sisters, with their graceful demeanor and captivating beauty, add an element of femininity and charm to the image. This engraving, colored in rich hues, offers a glimpse into the opulent and elegant world of the European monarchy during the Bourbon era, a time of grandeur, power, and intrigue.
