EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite hand-colored lithograph, we find a captivating image of Marguerite de Lorraine (1564-1625), the sister of Queen Consort Louise of Lorraine. The portrait, illustrated by Sorel after an original painting in Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolio, offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the French court during the late Renaissance period. Marguerite, dressed in the height of fashion, dons an intricately designed gown adorned with elaborate lace collars, cuffs, and a ruff at her neck. The rich fabric, possibly velvet or satin, is adorned with delicate floral patterns, adding to the overall allure of the portrait. Her hair, styled in elaborate curls and braids, is artfully arranged and framing her face, which exudes a serene and regal expression. The sister of Queen Consort Louise of Lorraine, Marguerite was an influential figure in the French court. Her presence and style were a testament to the artistic and cultural exchange between France and the Duchy of Lorraine. This striking portrait, captured by the skillful hand of Sorel, provides a window into the fashion and beauty standards of the time, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of the French court during the late Renaissance period. The illustration is taken from the esteemed collection of Costumes Historiques de la France, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in Paris in 1852. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of this hand-colored lithograph make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or fashion.
