When Madame de Pompadour commissioned her portrait from the most famous and gifted pastelist of the period, Maurice-Quentin Delatour, she was about to complete the final stage of her prodigious ascension: as first mistress to king Louis XV, then friend, she also aspired to be his adviser. This portrait is a statement – carefully analyzed for the first time here – of the new role she sought.
