Our painting is a partial adaption of the portrait by Largillierre in the museum collection, Melbourne, Australia (unlisted dimensions, consult Myra Nan Rosenfeld, Largillierre and the Eighteenth-Century Portrait, exh cat., Montreal, 1981, p. 293, 61d).

Condition report : The painting was cleaned and its canvas was re-lined a bit too tightly recently. We note older restorations are visible under black light.
