EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francoise D Aubigne Marquise De Maintenon, the second wife of King Louis XIV of France. The portrait, created in 1933 by an unknown artist, beautifully captures the elegance and grace of this influential figure from the 17th century. Francoise d Aubigne's marriage to King Louis XIV was a secret affair, known as a morganatic marriage. Due to its unofficial nature, she was never officially recognized as Queen Consort of France. However, her impact on French history cannot be understated. The circular cigarette-card format adds a unique touch to this historical image. It is part of "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring portrait miniatures of significant figures throughout world history spanning four centuries. In this portrait, Francoise daubigne exudes regal charm with her intricate hairstyle adorned with jewelry and pearls. Her ringlets cascade delicately around her face while she wears a stunning pearl necklace that accentuates her royal status. This print serves as a reminder of the power and influence women held even during times when their roles were often overshadowed by men. It invites us to appreciate not only Francoise d Aubigne's beauty but also her strength and resilience in navigating complex political dynamics at court. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness the allure and grandeur that surrounded royalty in seventeenth-century France.
