EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the beauty and allure of Louise Renee de Penancoet de Keroual, the Duchess of Portsmouth and Aubigny. Painted by Henri Gascar in the 17th century, this oil on canvas print showcases her elegance and charm. Louise Renee was famously known as King Charles II of England's favorite mistress during his reign from 1630 to 1685. The painting depicts her in all her regal splendor, adorned with exquisite jewels including a necklace and pearl earrings. Her curly hair cascades down her shoulders, adding to her enchanting presence. In this image, she is seen walking with a stylish cane or walking stick, symbolizing both grace and power. A small dog accompanies her, perhaps representing loyalty or companionship. The artist skillfully captures Louise Renee's youthful beauty while also hinting at the intrigue that surrounded court life during that era. As a member of nobility hailing from Brittany in France, she played an influential role within English society. This portrait serves as a window into history - showcasing not only the fashion trends of the time but also providing insight into the complex relationships between monarchy and courtiers. It is no wonder that this masterpiece has found its place in private collections around the world.
