Born in 1673, she was the niece of Madame de Maintenon, the second wife of King Louis XIV of France, making her a member of the royal family by marriage. The Comtesse de Caylus is depicted here in an elegant and ornate robe, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a matching headdress, which accentuates her delicate features and expressive eyes. Her posture is confident and poised, reflecting the grace and dignity that were expected of women of her social standing. During her lifetime, Marie Marguerite was known for her intelligence, wit, and charm, making her a popular figure at the French court. She was also a patron of the arts and a generous philanthropist, using her wealth and influence to support various charitable causes. Despite her close connection to the royal family, the Comtesse de Caylus led an independent life, traveling extensively throughout Europe and cultivating a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Her travels and experiences provided her with a wealth of knowledge and insights, which she shared through her correspondence and salon gatherings. This portrait is a testament to the beauty, grace, and intelligence of Marie Marguerite, Comtesse de Caylus, a remarkable woman who played an important role in French history as a member of the aristocracy and a patron of the arts. Dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the French aristocracy during a time of great change and upheaval.
