EDITORS COMMENTS
Françoise Marguerite de Grignan, Countess of Grignan and Marquise of Simiane, was a prominent figure in French society during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born in 1648 to the renowned writer Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de Sévigné, Françoise's correspondence with her mother is renowned in French literary history. This portrait, dated between 1646 and 1705, depicts Françoise at the height of her beauty and elegance. She is seen holding a letter, a testament to the famous epistolary relationship she shared with her mother. The correspondence between mother and daughter is a rich source of insight into the social and political climate of the time, as well as a poignant record of their deep affection for one another. Françoise's life was marked by numerous marriages and intrigues at the French court, but her bond with her mother remained a constant source of strength and solace. The portrait, with its intricate detail and evocative expression, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable woman and the enduring love between mother and daughter.
