Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, painted around 1756 by François Boucher. This famous portrait of Louis XV's influential mistress is in the collection of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
I made two pretty bags with AMERICAN BEAUTIES by P & B Textiles (one of the largest American companies that produce printed cottons).
This quilt fabric has pink flowers with green leaves on a tone on tone soft blue background. My sewing machine and I created: Arlette and Marlette bags.
I was ispired by a Poisson's portrait of Madame de Pompadour, just the lady who brought the fashion of pastel colors (pink and blue) in the court of Versailles.
You can fine my handmade works on my estore.
"She had a horror of common or banal objects, or ones that were often copied, with fashionable motifs; if a piece of furniture was to please her it must be unique of its sort; the same applied to all her upholstery and hangings, always specially woven for her."SOURCE: Nancy Mitford,Madame de Pompadour(New York Review Books, 2001), page 158.
