"our portrait seems to have lost the identity of the model portrayed for more than a century, given that in the 1907 sale it was already presented as an anonymous "portrait of a woman". Knowing the life and work of pierre gobert, the hypothesis of a princely origin is entirely possible. Having worked in the 1720s for the court of lorraine, but simultaneously for the court of versailles, the artist also painted almost the entire offspring of the regent, as well as countless princesses from the branches of condé and conti. A fashionable and highly appreciated painter of his time, it seems very likely that a princess of blood commissioned his effigy. Our work in its composition is very close to the portrait of charlotte aglaé, duchess of modena, daughter of the regent, kept at the kassel museum (germany), inventory sm 1. 1. 848" [1]. Date: between 17000 and 1725. Dimensions: height: 143 cm (56.2 in); width: 104 cm (40.9 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Unidentified location.
