About the piece
Painted around 1700 by Nicolas de Largillière, this stunning portrait depicts Catherine Coustard, Marquise of Castelnau, alongside her young son Léonor. The work showcases the artist's mastery in rendering tactile surfaces, from the deep luminosity of the blue velvet gown to the delicate intricacy of the gold lace and the soft, regal features of the subjects.
