Description: | Françoise Marguerite de Sévigné (1646-1705) was the beloved daughter of the Marquise de Sévigné. Following her marriage to the comte de Grignan, she moved to Provence in 1671. Her mother missed her terribly, and started a now famous correspondence with her, which lasted for a quarter of a century. It is not certain that this portrait represents Mme de Grignan, but she does resemble other known portraits of her. The pearl jewellery make her undoubtedly a fashionable seventeenth-century lady. | Subjects: | portrait (Madame de Grignan) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mignard, Pierre, I (French painter and portraitist, 1612-1695) Æ Attributed to school of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9019... | Go to resource |
