Presumed portrait of Louise de La Vallière
Oil on canvas.

Faded, restorations.
Our painting is the presumed portrait of Françoise-Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, Duchess de La Vallière, one of Louis XIV's favourites from 1661 to 1667.
Maid of honour to the Duchess of Orléans, the King's sister-in-law, her meeting with the sovereign proved providential, as she diverted his attention from his brother's wife, whose friendly relationship was causing great concern to the Queen Mother Anne of Austria.
