Christine de France, Sister of King Louis XIII, Duchesse de Savoie: A Regal Portrait from the Age of Absolutism This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Christine de France (1606-1663), the sister of the renowned French King Louis XIII (1601-1643), in her role as Duchesse de Savoie. The portrait, created by Breton after a contemporary original from Le Bibliophile Jacob's Costumes Historiques de la France, published in Paris in 1852, captures the elegance and sophistication of the French aristocracy during the Age of Absolutism. Christine de France is shown wearing the formal attire of a duchess, with a richly embroidered and bejeweled gown, a lace-trimmed collar, and an elaborate headdress adorned with pearls and feathers. Her expression is serene and regal, reflecting her status as a member of the French royal family and her marriage to Victor Amadeus I, Duke of Savoy (1587-1637). The background of the portrait features an ornate gold and red damask pattern, further emphasizing the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this period. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate folds of Christine's gown to the intricate patterns of her headdress, showcase the skill and artistry of the lithographer and the original artist. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of the French aristocracy during the Age of Absolutism, a time of grandeur, opulence, and political intrigue. Christine de France's regal presence and elegant attire serve as a reminder of the power and influence of the French monarchy during this period, as well as the importance of fashion and visual representation in conveying status and power.
