Painted by Maurice Quentin de la Tour in 1752, this delicate artwork showcases the artist's mastery in capturing not only physical likeness but also the subject's personality.

The artist pays meticulous attention to each fold of fabric, emphasizing the luxuriousness of her clothing befitting a woman who held such significant influence over France's most powerful monarch. Displayed at Musee Antoine Lecuyer in Saint-Quentin, France, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most intriguing figures – Jeanne Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour – whose impact on art, politics, and culture continues to resonate even today.
