EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisitely hand-colored lithograph, Catherine des Roches, the cherished daughter of renowned French writer Madeleine Neveu, is depicted in the elegant attire of the late 16th century during the reign of King Charles IX of France. The portrait, taken from Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolio IX 44, was published in Paul Lacroix's esteemed work, "Historical Costumes of France," in 1852 by the Administration de Librairie in Paris. Catherine des Roches' attire reflects the opulence and sophistication of the French court during the late Renaissance period. Her dress is adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, with a high neckline and long, flowing sleeves. Her hair is styled in an elaborate chignon, held in place by a delicate jeweled hairpiece. The rich colors and textures of the fabric, brought to life through the meticulous hand-coloring process, add depth and vibrancy to the image. Madeleine Neveu, a celebrated author in her own right, is believed to have been a significant influence on her daughter's upbringing and education. Catherine's refined appearance and poised demeanor in this portrait are a testament to the intellectual and artistic environment she was raised in. The portrait serves as a captivating snapshot of French courtly life during the reign of King Charles IX, as well as a tribute to the literary legacy of Madeleine Neveu and her daughter Catherine.
