Description: | Even though this portrait is described in the Bowes Museum's documentation as that of an Infanta of Spain, this is highly unlikely, as the dress worn is typically French. Spanish fashions of the time were very different. The toy dogs are also very French, as Spaniards tended to be represented with much bigger canine companions. A portrait by Largillière depicting Prince James Stuart and his sister Princess Louisa Maria Theresa Stuart is very interesting as the dress worn by the young girl is practically identical to that shown in B.M.284. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Largillière, Nicolas de (French painter and draftsman, 1656-1746) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Mignard, Pierre, I (French painter and portraitist, 1612-1695) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9025... | Go to resource |
