EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie-Francoise Potier, Comtesse de Bethune (1697-1775): A Regal Portrait of Elegance and Grace Marie-Francoise Potier, born in 1697, was a French noblewoman who married Louis Marie Victor, Count of Bethune, in 1715. This stunning handcoloured lithograph, created after a portrait in the Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolios from Le Bibliophile Jacob aka Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historiques de la France," offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the French aristocracy during the early 18th century. The Comtesse de Bethune is depicted wearing an elegant and intricately designed robe à la française, a fashionable style popular during the reign of Louis XIV. The robe is adorned with an exquisite floral pattern, with a delicate lace collar and cuffs that add a touch of refinement to the ensemble. Her hair is styled in the latest trend, with intricate curls framing her face and cascading down her back. The Countess's piercing gaze and regal posture exude an air of confidence and poise, reflecting the dignity and grace expected of a noblewoman of her stature. The meticulously handcoloured details of the lithograph further enhance the portrait's beauty, bringing the intricate textures and patterns of the Comtesse's attire to life. This image offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French aristocracy during the early 18th century, a time of grandeur, elegance, and refinement. Marie-Francoise Potier, Comtesse de Bethune, stands as a testament to the beauty and sophistication of this bygone era, her regal presence a reminder of the rich history and culture that continues to inspire us today.
