Reportedly, the canvas was signed and dated 1738 on the reverse. The traditional identification of the sitter as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Henriette_de_Bourbon-Conti" class="extiw" title="w:Louise Henriette de Bourbon-Conti">Louise Henriette de Bourbon-Conti</a> (1726-1759) is not tenable and the picture, which is rather loosely and fluidly painted, was probably made for the art market. This appears to be a censored or modified version.
