Pierre Charles TREMOLIERES (1703-1739) - Lot 275
Pierre Charles TREMOLIERES (1703-1739) Portrait of Marie-Clémentine Sobieska (1702-1735) at Prayer Oil on canvas, signed lower left H. 191 cm L. 144 cm HVS Damage and restoration Daughter of Jacques-Louis-Henri Sobieski, son of King Jean III Sobieski of Poland, and wife of Jacques François Stuart, Marie-Clémentine Sobieska retired at the end of her life to the convent of Sainte-Cécile in Rome, where she died devoutly. As the goddaughter of Pope Clement XI, she was honored with burial in St. Peter's Basilica. The letter at the foot of Marie-Clementine Sobieska's name bears the date 1730, probably referring to the date she retired to a Roman convent. For a similar iconography of the Queen at prayer, see the engraving by Girolamo Rossi II the Younger (1692-1768) after Domenico Maria Muratori (1661-1742) (British Museum, inv. 1850,1014.473.A) and the engraving by Miguel de Sorello (1700-1765) after Agostino Masucci (1691-1758) (Scottish National Portrait Gallery, inv. SP III 77.3).
