Title
The Queen Consort Maria Leszczyńska
Description
English: Portrait of Marie Leszczyńska (1703-1768), wife of Louis XV of France (1710-1774).

"The queen is depicted in a three-quarter-length figure, her face smiling and turned towards the spectator. She wears a wig in shades of grey with her hair gathered around the nape of her neck and a diadem on her head, and pendants on her ears. She wears a dress with a wide neckline made of red velvet, brocaded with gold threads, with rich lace sleeves, and a bodice adorned with a jewelled bodice of diamonds and pearls. On the shoulders rests a blue velvet mantle embroidered with the heraldic fleurs-de-lis of the Crown of France and covered with ermine.

It is assumed that these portraits are a derivation of a pair of official paintings of the sovereigns most probably executed by Jean-Baptiste van Loo (1684-1745), prototypes that are traditionally dated to the year of the wedding, 1725, and of which several replicas of a smaller format are known.

Similar features of the monarchs can be seen in paintings by contemporaries, such as in canvases by Charles Van Loo (Collections of the Palace of Versailles, Salon de Mars), Jean Marc Nattier (Muzeum Narodowe, Warsaw), Alexis-Simon Belle (Trianon). We can mention another painter who devoted himself to such subjects, namely Pierre Gobert (Fontainebleau 1662 - Paris 1744), whose portraiture shows close stylistic affinities with our two portraits."
