'Olafur thorvaldsson has kindly added the following note;
In Xavier Salmon, exh. cat. Jean-Marc Nattier, 1685-1766, Versailles, Musée national des châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon, 26 October 1999 - 30 January 2000, Paris, 1999, cat. no. 79, pp. 276-277, Œuvres en rapport, were listed two copies of this Nattier. There exists a third copy of the Nattier, a copie interprétée by François Guérin, now in the coll. of the Stedelijk Museum Hoogstraten (no inv. no. as of April 2019). It seems that its pendant was a portrait of the prince de Soubise (1715-87), now destroyed, and since the Nattier is sd 1746, the sitter in the Nattier would be the prince de Soubise's third spouse, née Anne Victoire Marie Christine de Hesse-Rheinfels-Rotenburg (1728-92), whom the prince married in 1745.
The suggested identification is further supported on the grounds of the provenance of the Hoogstraten portraits: they belonged to the princesse de Soubise's younger sister. A side-by-side comparison of images of the princesse in J. H. Tischbein's portrait drawing of her (Staatliche Museen Kassel, Graphische Sammlung, inv. GS 4550; repr. in Spätbarock und Klassizismus. Bestandskatalog der Gemälde in den Staatlichen Museen Kassel, cat. no. 243, p. 285, fig. 33 and of the sitter in the Nattier seems to support the suggested identification.'
