EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louise de la Valliere, a prominent figure in French history during the 17th century. Painted by Alexander K MacDonald in 1937, this artwork captures the essence of Louise's beauty and grace. Known as one of King Louis XIV's mistresses, she held a significant place in his heart and court. In this particular portrayal, Louise is depicted as Flora, the goddess of flowers and springtime. Dressed in an exquisite gown with billowing sleeves that were fashionable during the thirties, she exudes elegance and sophistication. Her gaze is directed downwards, perhaps lost in contemplation or reflecting her humble nature despite her royal connections. The presence of a dog at her side adds warmth to the image, symbolizing loyalty and companionship. It also hints at Louise's affectionate nature towards animals. This stunning print not only highlights Louise de la Valliere's physical beauty but also serves as a reminder of her historical significance. As part of John Player & Sons' Famous Beauties cigarette card series from 1937, it became an iconic representation of femininity during that era. Alexander K MacDonald skillfully captured both the external allure and inner strength possessed by this remarkable woman who played a pivotal role within French society centuries ago. This photograph continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless charm and historical context.
