About the piece

Painted in 1769 by Louis-Michel van Loo, this masterful portrait depicts the Marquis de Marigny and his wife in a moment of refined domesticity. The work is celebrated for its exquisite rendering of fabrics, from the deep red of the Marquis's coat to the luminous, ruffled silk of his wife's gown, epitomizing late 18th-century French elegance.
