Francesco had initially proposed one of his daughters
as a bride for Louis XIV. Mazarin kept the two
portraits which had been sent to him and they were
later listed in his collection with other Este family
portraits. See Janet Southorn, Power and Display in the

and Ferrara (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,

See the chronology in Silvia Colombo and Marina
Dell’Omo, Andrea Lanzani 1641-1712. Protagonista del
barocchetto lombardo (Milan: Officina Libraria, 2007),
p. 194.
It should be noted that the anonymous reviewer of
this article does not believe that the drawing’s style
corresponds to that of Lanzani. However, Nicholas
Turner has accepted the attribution to the artist.
