Further details

PIERRE GOBERT (1662-1744), PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN WHITH HER DOG, FULL-LENGTH, OIL ON CANVAS

For the kings of France, hunting was a great passion: the court, both men and women, followed the King into the field with great avidity. The uniform worn by the men taking part followed specific rules. The stag hunting uniform was a blue justacorps decorated with gold and silver braid worn over a scarlet jacket and breeches. Women's clothing was not as restricted, but followed the cut of the male uniform, as can be seen in the present painting.

The style of the lace jabot worn by the sitter helps us to date the painting. According to tradition, the French officers, surprised by the enemy attack on the day of the Battle of Steenkerck in 1692, had no time to tie their cravats. Instead they wrapped them around their necks, passing the ends through the sixth buttonhole of their coats. Afterwards, people began to do the same in everyday dress to celebrate the victory of the hurriedly dressed soldiers. Whether the story is true or false, the fashion lasted into the beginning of the following century and was adopted by women for their hunting costumes.

Although the attractive young woman remains anonymous, she may have been a member of the family of the Marquis des Souches, as the painting was in the Château d'Abondant (Eure-et-Loir), rebuilt in 1756 by Louis II du Bouchet de Sourches (1711-1788), Grand Provost of France.
