Portrait of Queen Maria Leszczyński, wife of Louis XV. 18th century

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions 81 x 65 cm and 95 x 80 cm. Portrait of Queen Maria Leszczyński, depicted in a regal gown adorned with gold embroidery, lace, and an ermine-lined mantle alluding to her sovereign status. She holds a crown, a symbolic element reinforcing dynastic authority and legitimacy. The composition balances solemnity and delicacy in the modeling of the face, softly illuminated against a neutral background that enhances its presence. The meticulous treatment of the textiles and jewels demonstrates a representational intent typical of 18th-century official portraits, aligning with the European courtly tradition that exalts monarchical rank and dignity. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
