EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tender moment between a wet-nurse and the infant daughter of Gabrielle d'Estrees, the famous mistress of King Henri IV of France, circa 1600. The scene exudes an air of intimacy and devotion, as the experienced nurse cradles the child in her arms, her expression one of warmth and care. The wet-nurse's servant, standing nearby, attends to the needs of both mother and child, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of the women who served as wet-nurses during this period, often working in the households of the nobility. Wet-nursing was a common practice among the wealthy, as many mothers were unable or unwilling to breastfeed their own children due to various reasons, including illness or social obligations. Wet-nurses played a crucial role in the upbringing of these children, providing them with the essential nourishment and care they needed in their early years. The elegant attire of the wet-nurse and her servant reflects the opulence of the French court, where such scenes of domesticity would have been a common sight. The intricate details of their clothing, from the lace collars to the rich fabrics, underscore the wealth and status of their employer, Gabrielle d'Estrees, who was known for her beauty and her influential position at the court of Henri IV. This print offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the women who served as wet-nurses in the households of the French nobility during the late 16th century. It is a poignant reminder of the important role they played in the upbringing of the future generations of the French monarchy and aristocracy.
