About the piece
Painted in 1692 by François de Troy, this regal portrait depicts Françoise-Marie de Bourbon, the daughter of Louis XIV. She is captured in a luxurious blue velvet gown adorned with intricate gold embroidery and lace, set against a dark, atmospheric backdrop. The masterful treatment of light on her skin and the heavy silk drapery in her lap exemplifies the height of French Baroque portraiture.
