Title
Portrait of a Lady, called Marie, Marquise de Sévigné (1626-1696)
Description
English: So-called Portrait of Madame de Sévigné (1626-1696), but is probably a depiction of Henriette de Coligny de La Suze (1617-1673) (see image below)
  • Identification proposed by user Ecummenic (talk) based on the comparison with some portraits of Louise de La Vallière (see images below) and the lack of physical resemblance of the sitter of this portrait to other representations of Princess Palatine.
"The identification of the sitter is traditional, but is not fully confirmed by the accepted portraits of the Marquise de Sévigné , such as the pastel by Robert Nanteuil in the Musée Carnavalet, Paris. Marie de Rabutin, dame de Chantal, married in 1644 Henri, marquis de Sévigné. She was a leading figure in French literary circles and her celebrated letters to her daughter Françoise, comtesse de Grignan provide a vivid insight into court life during the reign of Louis XIV."
