Description: | This portrait shows Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orleans, standing and turning to her left as she looks out at the viewer. The sitter is shown against a plain backdrop, which emphasises the luxurious combination of silk and ermine, adorned with pearls, of her dress. In the combination of elegant gesture and the display of the sitter's wealth through her costume, this composition is typical of aristocratic portraiture of the second half of the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | portrait (Henrietta Anne Duchess of Orleans) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Beaubrun family (French painters, active 16th-17th centuries) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8898... | Go to resource |
