Question

In an oval portrait of this person, she stares directly at the viewer while raising a tiny brush used to apply powder from the box in her other hand. This woman delicately holds a bow vertically and leans on a golden quiver in a painting in which her plain robes are topped by a leopard skin. A clock atop a bookcase is shown in a mirror in a portrait of this person whose lower left corner features a pile of sheet music near a pair of pens, a pair of pink roses, and a spaniel. This woman was depicted as a gardener and as a (*) coffee-drinking sultana (10[1])by Carle (-5[1])van Loo (KAR-leh van LOO) and as Diana the Huntress by Jean-Marc Nattier. This “femme savante” holds an open book in a portrait that shows her reclining in a voluminous, rose-patterned turquoise dress. For 10 points–name this patroness of François Boucher (10[1])and (10[1])other Rococo artists, the mistress (10[1])of Louis XV. ■END■
