Description: | This portrait from the late eighteenth century is said to be of the wife of the painter Chardin (1699-1779). He married Marguerite Saintard in 1731, but as she died four years later the lady in the painting may be his second wife, Françoise Marguerite Pouget (1705-1791), whom he married in 1744. Chardin made a pastel portrait of her in 1775 (Louvre), but even though the woman could well be the same as in the Bowes painting, comparison is difficult as she is a lot older in the Louvre image. | Subjects: | portrait (Françoise Marguerite Chardin?) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8997... | Go to resource |
