EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-century print captures a charming moment between two renowned French figures, Marie-Catherine Le Tellier, Marquise de Vichy-Chamrond, and the Duchesse de Choiseul, Louise-Julie de Mailly. The image, dated between 1679 and 1780, depicts the Marquise playfully holding the Duchesse's lapdog, a small lapdog named Doll, while the Duchesse looks on with a smile. Marie-Catherine Le Tellier, also known as Madame de Graignan and Madame de Vichy-Chamrond, was a celebrated French literary figure and salonnière. She was known for her wit, intelligence, and charisma, and her salon was a gathering place for many of the leading intellectuals and artists of the time. The Duchesse de Choiseul, Louise-Julie de Mailly, was a member of one of the most powerful and influential families in France. She was known for her beauty, grace, and political acumen, and she played a significant role in the political and social scene of the court of King Louis XV. The image of the two women and the lapdog, Doll, is a testament to the close friendship that existed between them. It is believed that the Marquise and the Duchesse were great friends and confidantes, and this print captures the playful and affectionate nature of their relationship. The print also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural and historical heritage of France during the 18th century, a time of great artistic and intellectual achievement. The elegant attire, the refined setting, and the charming interaction between the two women all contribute to the timeless beauty and appeal of this image.
