拍品专文

See D.F. Lunsingh Scheurleer, Delft (München 1984), p.98-99 for a discussion about objects with trophies and Fontange ladies.

The hair dress was worn by Marie de Fontange, mistress to King Louis XIV. It went out of fashion at the French court in 1713, but certainly continued in Holland. It gives the figure a look rather similar to the Chinese beauties or lange Lijzen.
