Title
"Young Princess"
Description
"We find in this portrait a part of the universe of the one who was nicknamed the Roman, Pierre Mignard. But it is on the way that we will linger to support the connection with the famous French painter of the Grand Siècle. In front of a heavy green curtain, the young princess poses three-quarter face down, illuminated by a frontal light. Her grace and her chubby face do not fail to recall the portraits of Mademoiselle de Blois or Mademoiselle de Tours, both by the hand of Pierre Mignard and preserved respectively in the Louvre Museum and the Versailles Museum. Without suffering from any affectation, our portrait is of great realism and the young princess with immaculate flesh is perfectly highlighted by the play of materials and colors. Dressed in a blue dress enclosed in a boned body embroidered with gold threads, the young woman displays a determined air. The wide neckline from which protrudes a fine lace is adorned in its center with a jewel called boute en train. In conclusion, this remarkable portrait, in its original frame in carved and gilded wood said to have flowered corners, offers the gaze a female figure treated with great sensitivity combining charm and finesse."
