The Duchess of Bourbon and her daughter, Pierre Gobert, between 1700 and 1725

In this portrait, louise-françoise de bourbon (1673-1743) is represented still wearing the widow's veil, which allows us to date this work from the first months or perhaps the very first years following the death of louis iii de bourbon-condé in 1710. One of her daughters stands next to her. It may be henriette-louise, mademoiselle de vermandois, born in 1703. The work does not lack charm, the tenderness between the mother and her child being quite perceptible. The young woman's pose, her gaze turned directly towards us, the slightly affected hand movement, the sober layout are all elements belonging to the art of pierre gobert. Object Type: painting.
