About the piece
Dating from approximately 1715, this exquisite oil portrait depicts Jeanne-Christine de Lamoignon, the Marquise de Maniban. The sitter is rendered with aristocratic grace, her gown's intricate gold embroidery contrasting beautifully against a voluminous blue silk wrap. A rich golden curtain and soft, atmospheric background complete this quintessential example of French Baroque portraiture.
