Description: | This portrait is possibly a copy after or inspired by the work of Charles and Henri Beaubrun, two cousins from a renowned family of artists. They worked at the royal court, and were well regarded by Louis XIV, whose portrait they had painted when he was a week old. The King commissioned a series of portraits of the ladies of the court from them, and they also painted Anne of Austria. In fact, the lady represented here looks a lot like portraits of her attributed to the Beaubruns or to their followers. The dress is different, but the necklace, hairstyle and face are extremely similar to other portraits of the queen. The quality of the painting is however inferior to the Beaubruns' work. | Subjects: | portrait (Anne of Austria?) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Beaubrun family (French painters, active 16th-17th centuries) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9024... | Go to resource |
