EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Louise de Keroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth, during her time as Charles II's favorite mistress. Painted by Peter Lely between 1671 and 1674, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Louise in all her beauty and elegance. Louise de Keroualle was a French lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Braganza before catching the eye of King Charles II. Despite being unpopular at the English court due to serving the interests of Louis XIV, she received lavish gifts from the Sun King himself. In this three-quarter length portrait, Louise exudes confidence and sophistication. Her regal attire reflects her position as a duchess while also highlighting her French heritage. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, from the delicate lace collar adorning her neck to the shimmering pearls cascading down her gown. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this painting is a testament to Lely's talent as well as an intriguing glimpse into one of history's most scandalous love affairs. It serves as a reminder that even within royal circles, power dynamics and personal relationships can shape destinies. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance in capturing an influential figure who played a significant role in both English and French courts during a tumultuous era of restoration.
