About the piece

Painted in 1756 by François Boucher, this celebrated portrait depicts Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, the influential mistress of King Louis XV. She is shown reclining in a magnificent teal silk gown adorned with pink roses, holding an open book that signals her status as a patron of the Enlightenment. The scene is rich with symbolic details, from the spaniel at her feet to the ornate clock and writing desk, all rendered with Boucher's characteristic luminosity and decorative elegance.
