EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Remy, also known as Countess de La Motte, in the year 1786. The artwork is housed at the Musee de la Police in Paris, France and belongs to the French School of the 18th century. Jeanne's life was marked by scandal and intrigue, particularly her involvement in the infamous affair that tarnished Marie-Antoinette's reputation. This affair ultimately led to Jeanne's unpopularity and subsequent downfall. In this portrait, Jeanne exudes an air of mystery and defiance. Her gaze is intense yet enigmatic, hinting at a complex personality beneath her elegant facade. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of her attire - from the delicate lace collar to the opulent necklace adorning her neck. The image serves as a reminder of both Jeanne's audacity and her eventual fate. Imprisoned for her crimes during a time of political turmoil in France, she became a symbol of rebellion against authority. The diamond necklace featured prominently in this print represents not only luxury but also deception and betrayal. As we admire this exquisite piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us reflect upon how one woman's actions can have far-reaching consequences that reverberate through history.
