(Especially if it involved one of her rivals.)<br /><br />And, whether in pitched battle or a mere game of bridge, Henriette Caroline Christine of Hesse-Darmstadt was surely someone to have on YOUR side.<br /><br />As for the REAL reason behind Gabrielle Emilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, marquise du Chatelet's second, more vivacious portrait ... ? I suspect it may have had something to do with her pride at possessing one of her era's more successful facelifts.<br /><br />The accuracy of my observations notwithstanding, <b>THANK YOU</b> for assembling such a glamorous gallery !Status Quo Vadishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187250845351005825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580595753456307919.post-35348494780743246912012-12-19T15:25:43.973+01:002012-12-19T15:25:43.973+01:00Pernilla L: Indeed they do!

I really want a fur muff, though, but I think I'll make it out of fake fur. Pernilla Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264669644303592781noreply@blogger.com
