Original Description
François-Hubert Drouais’ "Portrait of a Lady (Marquise d'Herbouville?) as Diana, Wearing a Satin Dress" is a captivating Rococo masterpiece that exudes elegance and mythological allure. Painted around 1760, the work portrays an aristocratic woman embodying Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, her satin gown shimmering with delicate folds that showcase Drouais’ virtuosity in rendering textiles. The soft, luminous palette and fluid brushwork epitomize the refined frivolity of French court portraiture, while the subject’s poised gesture—holding an arrow—adds playful theatricality. As a leading portraitist under Louis XV, Drouais bridged the Rococo’s ornamental charm and Neoclassicism’s emerging sobriety, making this painting a significant transitional piece. Its ambiguous identity (possibly portraying Marie-Françoise de Carbonnel, Marquise d’Herbouville) further fuels art historical intrigue, reflecting 18th-century aristocracy’s penchant for allegorical self-fashioning.
For a sophisticated interior, this portrait would elevate a study or formal living room with its refined palette of pearl grays and blush pinks. Hang it against deep navy or emerald walls to heighten the satin’s luminosity, ideally in a space with antique gold accents—think Louis XVI-style frames or gilded consoles—to echo its Rococo origins. A height of 48-60 inches from the floor ensures the life-sized figure (original dimensions approx. 81 x 65 cm) commands attention without overwhelming. Pair it with slender candelabras or a marble-topped side table to balance its vertical composition, while velvet upholstery in muted jewel tones would harmonize with the painting’s luxurious texture. In offices, it injects timeless prestige beside leather-bound books or a Chinoiserie desk, bridging opulence and intellect.
