The note accompanying this picture tells us nothing about the woman depicted in it. Certainly, she was aristocrat, probably a member of the royal family or the court at Versailles. Nor does it say anything about the artist. All we are told is that it belongs to the ‘French school.’ The portrait hangs in the Prado Museum in Madrid, an unknown woman painted by an anonymous artist. Practically the only information we have is about a country, France; or to be more precise, Versailles. That’s where, from a very tender age, Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre made music for the most powerful people of her time.
