About the piece
This stately oil portrait, dating to approximately 1660, depicts Madeleine Fare Le Tellier, the Marquise de Villequier. She is rendered in exquisite detail, wearing a lavishly embroidered gown and a dramatic, plumed headdress that reflects the opulence of the French court during the early reign of Louis XIV.
