This category is called portrait historié and was praised during the 18th century. It is difficult to identify the sitter although the name of Louise Elisabeth d'Orléans, Duchesse de Berri (1695-1719), grand-child of Louis XIV has been suggested. Pierre Gobert achieved a great success as a portrait painter and was a member of the Académie Royale in 1701. He ran a large studio and was regarded as the foremost portrait painter of his time." |
