Portrait of the Princess de Lamballe
(18th and 19th Centuries )
Marie-Thérèse-Louise, Princesse de Lamballe (1749-1792), a noted beauty and friend of Queen Marie-Antoinette, was murdered during the Revolution. This object was aquired from E.F. Bonaventure, dealing in rare books and prints, who may have also collected French objects.
Sèvres produced such biscuit, or unglazed, white porcelain on a blue ground in imitation of Josiah Wedgwood's jasper ware.
