EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and regal beauty of Margaret of Valois, also known as Marguerite de France. As the daughter of King Henry II and the first wife of King Henry IV, her significance in French history is undeniable. The year 1572 marked the creation of this exquisite artwork, showcasing Margaret adorned in a magnificent Spanish court dress. Her attire exudes opulence and sophistication, featuring a high upright lace collar that frames her face with grace. A corset accentuates her slender waistline while a vertugadin or farthingale adds volume to her skirt, creating an impressive silhouette. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail by including slashed sleeves and a red embroidered petticoat that further enhance the richness of her ensemble. Margaret's refined taste extends to her accessories as well. She wears a pearl necklace that drapes delicately around her neck, adding an air of refinement to her already majestic presence. Every element within this portrait showcases not only Margaret's personal style but also reflects the fashion trends prevalent during this era. The hand-coloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine beautifully brings out every nuance captured by Louis Marie Lante's original illustration from Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres in 1827. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece, immortalizing Margaret's timeless allure for generations to come.
