EDITORS COMMENTS
"This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Jeanne Agnes Berthelot de Prie, Marquise de Prie (1698-1727), a French adventuress and mistress to the powerful Duc de Bourbon. The painting, created in the late Baroque period, showcases Agnes's striking beauty and sophisticated elegance, with her piercing gaze and elegant attire. Born into a noble family, Agnes Marquise de Prie's life took an unexpected turn when she became the mistress of the Duc de Bourbon, the Duke of Vendome, in the early 18th century. The Duc was a prominent figure in French politics, and his relationship with Agnes caused quite a scandal. Despite the controversy, the couple remained together for many years, and Agnes played an influential role at the French court. Agnes was known for her intelligence, wit, and charm, and she was a popular figure among the French nobility. She was also an accomplished musician and singer, and she often performed at the court. However, her relationship with the Duc eventually ended, and she retired from public life. Despite her scandalous past, Agnes Marquise de Prie is remembered as a fascinating and intriguing figure in French history. Her story is a reminder of the complexities and intrigues of the French court during the early 18th century, a time of political upheaval and social change. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a woman who defied convention and lived on her own terms, leaving a lasting legacy in French history."
