Male and female portrait, both in silk kimono, possibly textile dealers
By Christoffel Lubieniecki
Located in Amsterdam, NL
CHRISTOFFEL LUBIENIECKI (1659-1729)
Pair of portraits of a gentleman and a lady, both in silk kimono, before a country house (circa 1680)
Indistinctly signed “C.......” on a box under the man’s left hand
Oil on canvas, 79.5 x 67 cm each
Both sitters are portrayed wearing a silk “Japanese” coat. During the second half of the seventeenth the Japanese silk coat, an adapted Japanese kimono, became a real vogue in the Dutch elite. The exclusive Dutch trade contacts with Japan can explain the popularity of the kimono-style silk coats in the Netherlands. Everybody who could afford one, dressed in such a fashionable and comfortable coat and, like the present sitters, some proud owners had themselves portrayed in a “Japanese” coat often together with an oriental carpet to underline their standing and international connections. These portraits are the work of the Polish-born portraitist Christoffel Lubieniecki (also known as Lubienitski, Lubinitski or Lubiniecki)
Lubieniecki was first trained in Hamburg under Julian Stuhr and after 1675 in Amsterdam under Adriaen Backer and Gerard de Lairesse. He specialized in landscapes, generally of an Italianate character, and in portraits. The loving execution of these contented burghers, enjoying the garden vistas of their country house, places him alongside Amsterdam portraitists such as Constantijn Netscher and Michiel van Musscher...

18th century French - Portrait of Duchesse de Fontanges by François de Troy
Located in PARIS, FR
François de Troy (1645 – 1730) - Duchesse de Fontanges
The young woman, traditionally identified as Mademoiselle de Fontanges, Louis XIV's mistress, is depcited in bust facing forward, her head slightly raised and turned to the left. She seems to dominate the viewer.
She is dressed in a blue satin dress and wrapped in an orange satin stole that shines with its most golden luster.
His hand with graceful fingers with the index and ring fingers spread apart and the middle finger glued to the ring finger keeps slippery fabrics on his chest. Its stole flying in the wind creates an instantaneous movement and the arm bent at the elbow obliquely transforms its static pose.
The perfectly oval face is enlivened by wide gray eyes, a turned-up nose, full cheeks and a mouth that sketches a half-smile. Her powdered and tied hair is studded with many flowers. The young woman wearing no jewelry, the radiance of her youth and her translucent hue are her only ornaments.
The juxtaposition between the icy blue satin and the incandescent orange like the heart and the contours of a flame indicates François de Troy's great talent as a colourist.
Its vibrant and nervous touch enlivens fluid fabrics, making them sparkling and changing. Their surface is worked in quivering brushstrokes, the serifs and the glazes forming an elegant arrangement.
The glazes of the face are treated by superimposing light and transparent layers, producing pearly reflections and a translucent rendering, the technique in which de Troy particularly excels.
By François de Troy (Toulouse 1645 – Paris 1730)
Early 18th century French School
Oil on canvas in oval format: h. 27.95 in, w. 25.18in
19th century period frame
Framed dimensions: h. 41.34 in, w. 33.46 in
Although unsigned, like the majority of works by François de Troy, our portrait has been authenticated by the French expert cabinet "Turquin" as an autograph work by François de Troy.

An elegant and sophisticated decorative touch in any living space, portrait paintings have remained popular throughout the years and are widely loved pieces of art for display in many homes today.
Portrait paintings are at least as old as ancient Egypt, where realistic, lifelike depictions of the recently deceased — commonly known as “mummy portraits” — were painted on wooden panels and affixed to mummies as part of the burial tradition.
For centuries, painters have used portraiture as a means of expressing a subject’s nobility, societal status and authority. Portraits were given as gifts in Renaissance Europe, and a portrait artist might have been commissioned to help mark a significant occasion such as a wedding or a promotion to high office. Prior to the advent of photography, which eventually replaced painted portraits as a quicker and more efficient way of capturing a person’s essence, the subject of a portrait had to sit for hours until the painter had finished. And during the 18th century in particular, if an artist commissioned for a portrait struggled with how to adequately memorialize and capture a subject’s likeness, sometimes a portrait painting wasn’t completed for up to a year.
Whether it’s part of the gallery-style approach to your living-room or dining-room walls or merely inspiration as you devise an eye-grabbing color scheme in your home, a portrait painting is a timeless decorative object for any interior. A landscape painting or sculpture might give you the kind of insight into a specific region of the world or a different culture that you can ascertain only through art. Similarly, when you take the time to learn about the subject of a portrait painting that you bring into your home — the sitter’s history, the relationship between the sitter and the artist should one exist, the story of how the portrait came to be — that work can become intensely personal in addition to its place as an object for an art-hungry corner of your apartment or house.
