Note : This is a modernist rereading of the well know Fontainebleau school portrait of Gabrielle d'Estrées and her sister, the Duchesse de Villars. The subject is here reduced to a snapshot image of leisure society, herself concealed by the differentiated treatment of color in grids and large horizontal planes.
