Object history

Provenance: The provenance information given in Read 1902 and Dalton 1927 (that the object was once in the collections of Debruge and Soltykoff) may be incorrect. WB.24 was

purchased by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild at the sale of the collection of Frédéric Spitzer in Paris in 1893 (lot 487), but it is unclear whether this is the same plaque that was once in the sales of Debruge-Dumenil (1850), Solykoff (1861) and Seillière (1890) or whether that provenance actually belongs to the plaque now in Chantilly. Further research is required.
Notes "Commentary: The sitter was previously thought to be Catherine of Lorraine, but Leblond and Deprouw 2010 (see bibliography) compare the portrait with a further plaque (unsigned) of the same sitter in the Musée Condé, Chantilly (inv. no. OA 124), and a linked drawing from the school of François Clouet in the Ashmolean Museum (inv. no. WA 1863.6.25) entitled 'Madame de Guise'. Anne d'Este (1531-1607), a French noblewoman, is the more likely subject. Anne was daughter of Renee de France and Ercole d'Este, and wife of Francois duc de Guise (assassinated in 1563) and later of Jacques de Savoie, Duke of Nemours. The drawing in the Ashmolean is the type of workshop copy which enamellers would have worked from to produce portrait plaques such as these, and was also used by Leonard Limosin for a Medea plaque in the Musée Antoine Vivenel in Compiegne (inv. no. L.2984), perhaps unintentionally." [1]
