Isabeau de Savoie, Comtesse du Bouchage

Executed in oil paint on a solid blue background, the portrait showcases the artist's skill in capturing nuanced expressions and textures, such as the subject's red hair and the detailing of her attire.

Created around 1550, the portrait's history prior to its acquisition by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, is not detailed here. It is known to be the work of Corneille de Lyon, a painter active during the 16th century.

The portrait's style and the subject's clothing, including a black dress with a square neckline and white sleeves, along with a gold chain, place it firmly within the formal portraiture traditions of 16th-century Europe.

As part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's collection, the portrait contributes to the understanding and appreciation of 16th-century European portraiture and the oeuvre of Corneille de Lyon.
