Pierre MIGNARD (1612-1695), entourage of Portrait of Françoise de Sévigné, Countess of Grignan Oil on copper. H_11 cm W_9.5 cm Restorations. Inscriptions in pen on the reverse, in a period frame. This small copper is the presumed portrait of Françoise de Sévigné, Countess of Grignan. The letters she exchanged with her mother Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de Sévigné, are among the most famous in French literature. The Comtesse de Grignan was renowned for her beauty and wit. At the age of sixteen, she even received the honor of dancing the first entrée with Louis XIV. She was also the cousin of Roger de Bussy-Rabutin, the celebrated libertine of Louis XIV's court, exiled for his Histoire amoureuse des Gaules. The size of our portrait reflects the intimate nature of the work.
