About the piece
Painted around 1710 by Nicolas de Largillière, this portrait depicts Anne-Thérèse de Marguenat de Courcelles, the Marquise de Lambert, a celebrated French writer and salonnière. The work brilliantly showcases the artist's mastery of light and texture, particularly in the tactile depth of the deep blue velvet and the intricate shimmer of the golden bodice.
