Jeannes de Cocesme, First Wife of Francois, Prince of Conti

Thomas de Leu

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust-length portrait of a woman seated, facing forward. Her facial features are delicately depicted with slightly arched eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a subtle smile. Her hair is elegantly styled, swept back and piled into a high bun. She wears a detailed gown with a high lace collar adorned with multiple rows of pearls, and the dress features intricate embroidery patterns. Her earrings are pearl drops. Surrounding her is a simple, textured background, framing the portrait in an oval with engraved text detailing her identity as Jeanne de Coesme, Princesse de Conty. The lower section of the print contains poetic French text.
