EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie Touchet, a captivating figure of the French Court, is depicted in this exquisitely hand-colored lithograph by Dumand. The portrait, derived from Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolio IX 46, offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the 16th century French Court. Marie Touchet, a woman of humble origins, rose to become the mistress of King Charles IX of France, a powerful and influential monarch of the time. Her allure and charm captured the heart of the King, and she became a prominent figure at the French Court. The intricate details of Marie Touchet's costume reflect the grandeur and sophistication of the era. Her elaborate headdress, adorned with pearls and feathers, frames her beautiful face. Her voluminous gown, made of rich velvet, is decorated with intricate gold embroidery and lace. The delicate lace cuffs and ruffs add a feminine touch to her attire. The portrait also reveals her elegant jewelry, including a pearl necklace and earrings, which further accentuate her regal appearance. Marie Touchet's story is a testament to the power of beauty and charm in the French Court. Despite her humble beginnings, she managed to capture the heart of a King and become a prominent figure in French history. This hand-colored lithograph is a stunning representation of the opulence and elegance of the French Court during the reign of King Charles IX.
