Provenance:
Christie's, Paris, 17th December 2009, lot 53;
With Michel Vandermeersch;
The Twinight Collection

Painted by Mlle Arsène Trouvé (1818-22; 1827) and Jean-Marie-Dominique Troyon (1802-1817).

The portrait is titled on the reverse as 'Portrait d'Elisabeth de Bourbon, Peint d'après Rubens. This is erroneous however, as the painting is based on a copy after a lost original painted by Rubens dating to 1620-1625. Anne of Austria was the eldest daughter of King Philip III of Spain and his consort Margaret of Austria. She not only held the titles of Infanta of Spain and of Portugal but also that of Archduchess of Austria. She married Louis XIII in 1615 at the age of thirteen, and was the mother of Louis XIV (1643-1715) and Philippe I, Duke d'Orléans.
