Marie Françoise de La Cropte de St. Abre, Marquise d'Argence (born 1714)
Artist: Jean Marc Nattier (French, 1685–1766)
Original Dimensions: 32 1/2" x 25 1/2"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1744) "The marquise's name and the date are inscribed on the stretcher. In 1744, the year she sat for Nattier, she was married in Paris to François Achard Joumard Tison d'Argence (1719–1781), who descended from several families of great antiquity in Angoulême and Périgueux.
In this formal, frontal portrait the young sitter wears a pointed bodice trimmed with lace and pearls. An extravagant length of taffeta-like fabric is knotted at her breast. The trees, some with leafless branches, are unusual for a portrait in this relatively small format." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
