Fontainebleau School, circa 1600

Portrait of a lady, possibly Gabrielle d'Estrées, three-quarter-length, in a red fur-trimmed wrap
oil on canvas
100.6 x 71.8cm (39 5/8 x 28 1/4in).

Footnotes

The lady depicted in the present work bears a resemblance to the mistress of King Henri IV of France, Gabrielle d'Estrées. Her image was most famously recorded in the anonymous Gabrielle d'Estrées et une de ses sœurs now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. R.F. 1937-1). The sitter in the current picture comes close in type to the portrait of Gabrielle d'Estrées at her Bath now in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, and also that offered at Sotheby's, New York, 5 June 2008, lot 75, as Gabrielle d'Estrées.
