About the piece
Painted around 1690 by court artist Pierre Gobert, this regal portrait depicts a noblewoman, likely Louise Françoise de Bourbon, in a magnificent floral-patterned gown and feathered headdress. She holds a small black mask, suggesting a festive or theatrical occasion, set within a grand architectural interior typical of the French Old Regime. The work beautifully captures the opulence and dramatic lighting of the late 17th-century French court.
