French school of the XVIIth century, follower of Pierre MIGNARD. Portrait of Anne-Marie de Beuzelin, duchess of La Force (1668-1752). Original canvas. 72 × 59 cm. (Restorations and small missing pieces). Born in 1668 from the marriage of Jean III Beuzelin de Bosmelet and Renée Bouthillier de Chavigny. She married on June 18, 1698 Henri-Jacques Nompar de Caumont, duke of La Force. From 1695, they try to marry Anne-Marie Beuzelin that Madame de de Sévigné considers as a good match with sixty thousand pounds of income. Then, about several marriages in view at the beginning of of 1696, she wrote on February 3, 1696: "The Count de Lux, to whom the king has granted a duke's patent, is still marrying mademoiselle de Bosmelet with four hundred thousand francs at present and three hundred thousand francs of insurance, but this marriage the young lady seems to me rather unpleasant, and the family of Luxembourg, it is said, is not very of this alliance. Finally, the Marquise took up her pen again on this subject on 20 February: "There is talk of mademoiselle de Bosmelet with the young duc de La Force, who is said to be her son. The Duchess de La Force died without in Paris on 18 November 1752. This portrait belongs to the old collection of portraits of the de Bosmelet family.
