EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Madame de Sorquainville, a woman of wit and charm in 18th-century France. Painted by Jean-Baptiste Perronneau in 1749, this oil on canvas print showcases her intelligence and allure. Madame de Sorquainville sits elegantly, half-length, with a gentle smile that hints at her amusement. Her black ribbon-adorned attire reflects her refined taste and sophistication. Hailing from Normandy, she exudes the grace and poise associated with the region. Not only was Madame de Sorquainville known for her beauty, but also for her sharp intellect. As a salonniere, she held gatherings where intellectuals would gather to discuss art, literature, and politics. Her salon became a hub of intellectual exchange during this period. Interestingly enough, Madame de Sorquainville had familial ties to another influential figure of the time – Madame de Pompadour. Through marriage connections between their families, she was related to Charles-Guillaume Le Normant d'Etiolles who married Mme de Pompadour's sister. This print offers us a glimpse into the world of an extraordinary woman whose presence commanded attention wherever she went. With its vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes preserved at Louvre Museum in Paris today; it serves as a testament to both Perronneau's artistic skill and Madame de Sorquainville's enduring legacy as an intelligent femme d'esprit.
