Description
Français : Sans doute le tableau présenté par Louise-Adélaïde Desnos au Salon de 1838 (no 503) avec la description suivante : Madame de la Vallière - Avant d'entrer au couvent, elle vient se jeter aux pieds de la reine pour obtenir son pardon. Le tableau représenterait donc Louise de La Vallière, maîtresse du roi Louis XIV, venant demander pardon à l'épouse de celui-ci, la reine Marie-Thérèse, avant d'entrer au Carmel.
English: Probably the painting exhibited by Desnos at the Salon of 1838 (# 503) with the description (in French) : Madame de la Vallière - Avant d'entrer au couvent, elle vient se jeter aux pieds de la reine pour obtenir son pardon. The painting would therefore depict Louise de La Vallière, mistress of King Louis XIV, asking forgiveness from the latter's wife, Queen Marie-Thérèse, before taking the veil.
