The youth of Madame de Longueville, or new revelations of court and convent in the seventeenth century

Note 331 — Chapter IV · 1644 to 1649.

Frederick W. (Frederick William) Ricord translation

Father Lelong speaks of this portrait, by Poilly, in-fol.; we have sought for it in vain. It is probable that Father Lelong has referred to Madame de Longueville the fine portrait by Nicolas Poilly, the more or less authentic inscription of which is: Mademoiselle de Montpensier, with the equivocal arms, at once of the Orleans and of the Condés. We think, however, that it is Mademoiselle much embellished.
