Mme de Souscarrière and her Page

Artist: Nicolas de Largillierre (French, 1656 - 1746)

Original Dimensions: 53 3/4" x 41"

Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (Probably 1729) "As distasteful as we find it today, it was not uncommon in the eighteenth century for sitters to choose to be portrayed alongside a Black page as a sign of their wealth and status. This boy, with his lustrous earring and suit of embroidered velvet, is treated like the woman’s pearl-encrusted clothes and peacock-feather fan: a symbol of her affluence. Amid so much gold and silver thread, his collar – a sign of his enslaved status – is a horrible parody of jewellery. This lady was once believed to be Charlotte Amelia, Princess Rákóczi (1679–1722), but it is more likely that she is Mme de Souscarrière, wife of Jean-Baptiste Bosc, chevalier seigneur de Souscarrière. There is a higher quality version of this portrait by Largillierre on long loan to the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, suggesting that our version may have been made with studio assistance." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
