Françoise Marie de Bourbon, légitimée de France (1677-1749) was the youngest illegitimate daughter of Louis XIV of France and his maîtresse-en-titre, Marquise de Montespan. In 1681, she was legitimised by Louis XIV and given the courtesy title of Mademoiselle de Blois. At the age of 14 she was wed to her first cousin Philippe d'Orléans, future regent of France during the minority of Louis XV.
François de Troy's typical portraits of women show him as an imitator of the free movement of the Flemish tradition.
