EDITORS COMMENTS
Renee du Bec, Marechale de Guebriant: A Portrait of Elegance and Resilience This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Renee du Bec, Marechale de Guebriant, in a portrait created in 1646. Renee was the widow of Jean-Baptiste Budes, comte de Guebriant, a prominent figure in the French court during the reign of Louis XIII. The portrait, originally part of Roger de Gaignieres gallery portfolio X 73, is a testament to the beauty, grace, and resilience of this remarkable woman. Renee du Bec's striking appearance is captured in this intricately detailed image. She is dressed in the height of 17th-century fashion, with a voluminous black gown adorned with lace and pearls. Her elaborate hairstyle, piled high with curls and adorned with jewels, adds to her regal appearance. Her expressive eyes and delicate features convey a sense of intelligence, strength, and sensitivity. The portrait also serves as a reminder of Renee's resilience and determination. After the death of her husband, she took charge of the vast Guebriant estates and became a significant player in French politics. Her influence at court was such that she was often called upon to mediate disputes and negotiate alliances. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph, produced by Le Bibliophile Jacob (Paul Lacroix) in 1852, is a valuable historical record of a remarkable woman who defied the conventions of her time and left a lasting impact on French history.
