In this engraving from the 19th century, we see The Duchess Louise de la Valliere (1644-1710) graciously receiving a humble priest in her chateau near Saint Germain en Laye. The scene depicts the Mistress of Louis XIV as she listens attentively to the clergyman's plea for financial assistance for villagers who have fallen victim to a devastating fire.
The image captures a moment of compassion and generosity, showcasing the Duchess' noble character and her willingness to help those in need. Despite her high status and royal connections, she remains grounded and empathetic towards the suffering of others.
The intricate details in the engraving bring to life the opulence of the chateau surroundings, contrasting with the simplicity of the priest's attire. The interaction between these two figures symbolizes a harmonious blend of power and humility, highlighting themes of charity, nobility, and religious duty.
