Portrait of Louise-Anne de Bourbon Conde called Mlle. de Charolais by Jean-Marc Nattier. Here is a better reproduction in color of the portrait mentioned here several months ago. It is a Voboam guitar that she plays, as is evident from the distinctive decorations used by that dynastic family of luthiers. There is Voboam very similar to it now on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (music instrument room). It can also be seen on the Museum's web site in several views. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/nattier/nattier14.jpg&imgrefurl=http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/nattier/p-nattier14.htm&h=627&w=800&sz=135&tbnid=2PHHpJ358-5yQM:&tbnh=111&tbnw=142&hl=en&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3DNattier14%2BCharolais%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG http://www.mfa.org/collections/index.asp -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
