From the Museums of Metz, this portrait is believed to be that of Marie Serre, mother of the artist, Hyacinth Rigaud (1659-1743). This painting contrasts with Rigaud's famous portraits of Louis XIV.
My wife Susie and I spent the spring of 2010 in Metz, France. This blog reported my experiences and observations, much in same way that my Dispatch from Toulouse covered my years in the south of France. You can buy a large-format book with the blog entries from the Dispatch from Metz through Blurb at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2027500.
