Madame de la Porte 433-b Limited Edition Comtesse de Dillieres Limited Edition #443-a. Numbers noted on back.

Madame de la Porte originally painted in 1754. Recently established as the portrait of a fellow painter's wife, this image is the last word in high fashion.

Comptesse de Tillieres appears to be mis-identified based on ArtUK.org. Based on research, the sitter appears to be Marie-Charlotte de Châteaurenaud, who married the marquis de Belestat of Toulouse (1725–1807) in 1752. She succeeded her mother as a lady-in-waiting to the daughters of Louis XV and attended the court at Versailles in 1754 and 1755. The original was painted in 1755.

Jean-Marc Nattier (1685–1766) was a French Rococo painter famous for his portraits of the ladies of King Louis XV's court. He was the official portraitist for the king's daughters from 1745, and his most famous works are portraits of members of the French aristocracy, such as Madame de Pompadour, Mme. de Tillières, and the Princesses de France.
