About the Item

This charming engraving named Mademoiselle de La Vallières under a tent in the Bois de Vincennes was made by Louis Charles Ruotte, after the work of Jean Frédéric Schall. This engraving belongs to a series of 6 engravings dealing with the meeting between Louise de La Vallières and King Louis XIV. Here is represented the meeting between the king Louis XIV and this young woman Louise de La Vallières. She is on the left of the composition, wearing a white dress. In front of her, the seated monarch looks at her. A courtier offers a basket full of flowers to this young woman. The whole scene takes place in nature and is surrounded by many aristocrats. Louise de La Vallières is a French aristocrat of the eighteenth century. She was the favorite of Louis XIV from 1661 to 1667. The king dedicated to her one of the great feasts organized in Versailles "The pleasures of the enchanted island". But she was finally abandoned by the king in favor of Madame de Montespan. Following this disgrace, she turned to religion and entered the Carmelite convent of the Faubourg Saint Jacques in Paris. The composition is by the French genre painter and portraitist, Jean Frederic Schalke. This 18th century man was trained at the public school in Strasbourg. He was then admitted to the school of the protected pupils of the Royal Academy. His first works are about gallant subjects that he realizes in the manner of great masters like Fragonard. He was in contact with the high society of his time. He is a witness of the Old Regime, as for the sweetness of life, the manners. He made many portraits of actresses and dancers of the time. He was also chosen to illustrate literary works such as "Les amours de Psyché et de Cupidon de la fontaine". The engraving of the work is made by Louis Charles Ruotte. This French engraver and illustrator was trained in engraving by Noël Le Mire. He then left for London, where he trained in the technique of stippling. He then returned to Paris. He exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1793. The production of this artist is important but of uneven quality. He is quite versatile: portraits, allegories, caricatures, genre scenes and vignettes. Frame dimensions: H : 17, 7 Inch W : 13, 4 Inch.
