Jean Girardet ( 1709 -1778), attributed to. Portrait of Anne-Charlotte de Lorraine (1714 - 1773). This prestigious portrait bears witness to both Anne-Charlotte de Lorraine's beauty and her princely status: the young woman, granddaughter of the Princess Palatine, was allied to the royal family of France, but also, through her brother, to the imperial family of Austria. As abbess of the prestigious Remiremont Abbey, her costume reflects her princely status, as also evidenced by her ermine coat. Presented from the front, she wears a pale green silk gown trimmed with Chantilly lace. She is adorned with sumptuous jewels that testify to her rank, from the pearl earrings to the remarkable pectoral jewel made of precious stones and pearls (Vologne pearls, particularly prized by the Lorraine aristocracy of the time). Her hairstyle is not to be outdone, with pearls also entwining her hair and completing her ensemble (these may be Vologne pearls, particularly prized by the Lorraine aristocracy of the time). This ceremonial portrait was painted by Jean Girardet, painter to the King of Poland. A truly talented portraitist, Girardet left us numerous portraits of King Stanislas Leszczynski, Duke of Lorraine, members of his court, as well as artists and noblemen from Lorraine and the Barrois region. His works can be seen in numerous religious buildings in Lorraine and in many French museums. This portrait of Anne-Charlotte de Lorraine can be compared with a similar portrait of the princess on display at Remiremont town hall, in which the young woman appears in an identical outfit (notice no. PM88000787, Monuments Historiques). This is a restored oil on canvas mounted on a recent key frame. Dimensions: 81x60 cm, with frame: 106x86.5cm.
