This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts the Marquise de Pompadour, a woman of immense influence and beauty. As the mistress of King Louis XV of France, she held a prominent position in the royal court during the 18th century. The artist Adolf von Menzel skillfully captured her regal essence in this print. Dressed in an exquisite royal gown, Madame de Pompadour is portrayed seated with an air of elegance and grace. Her hoop skirt creates a striking silhouette that showcases her noble status. The intricate decorative border surrounding her adds to the overall opulence of the image. The frame and cartouche further enhance this piece, highlighting its historical significance as it pays homage to one of France's most influential figures. This woodcut offers us a glimpse into both fashion trends and societal norms prevalent during that era. The Granger Collection has preserved this remarkable artwork for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of Madame de Pompadour's significant role as not just a mistress but also as an influential patroness of arts and culture at Versailles.
