Description
English: Portrait of Louise de Keroual, Duchess of Portsmouth (1649-1734), mistress of Charles II of England "This exquisite jewel-like portrait relates to portraits by Sir Peter Lely of King Chares II's favourite mistresses, remembered by him in the famous last words Be well to Portsmouth, and let not poor Nelly starve, linking her and Nell Gwynn finally as they were joined in constant rivalry during his life. Louise de Kerouaille first encouraged the Kings attentions when she was employed as a French spy in the early 1670s but despite this ulterior motive she soon succumbed genuinely to the King's charm and to the bounty of the royal purse."
