Nicolas de Largillierre, 1696 - Portrait of a Woman, Possibly Madame Claude Lambert Thorigny (Marguerite Marie Bontemps, 1668-1701), and year Enslaved Servant - fine art print

General description by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Although born in Paris, Largillierre began his career in Antwerp and London and his earlier portraits show the considerable influence of Anthony van Dyck and Peter Lely. The attenuated palette of soft colors and the still-life details in this painting reflect his early training. Although he painted landscapes and still lifes, Largillierre is best known as a portraitist of the wealthy bourgeoisie, and this sitter is traditionally identified as the wife of Claude Lambert de Thorigny, president of the Chambre des Comptes and owner of the Hôtel Lambert in Paris, which houses the celebrated Galerie d'Hercule decorated by Charles Le Brun. Surrounded by trappings of wealth, the sitter appears with a young man of African origin, whose collar indicates his enslaved status.
