EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Timeless Portrait of Loyalty and Devotion**
This exquisite engraving print captures the essence of Louise de Coligny, a French noblewoman who lived in the early 17th century. The portrait, dated 1627, showcases her elegance and poise as she wears widow's attire with intricate collar details and a coat of arms emblazoned on her dress.
The oval framing features Latin script from Psalm 10:16 - "Reich komme" (Come to the kingdom) - serving as Louise's motto. The surrounding hatched frame corners add an air of sophistication, while the five-line Latin legend below provides insight into her life and legacy. Notably, this portrait was created for Prince Friedrich Henry of Orange, her son.
The engraving itself is a masterpiece from an unknown artist in the 17th century, now housed at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Austrian National Library) in Vienna, Austria. This stunning print not only celebrates Louise's beauty but also testifies to her unwavering devotion as a widow and mother.
As you gaze upon this timeless portrait, remember that it is more than just an image - it is a window into the past, revealing the intricate social dynamics of 17th-century France and Europe.
