Portrait of Charlotte Duchesne, ca. 1628, Black chalk, heightened with white, with touches of red chalk, 8 11/16 x 7 11/16 in. (22 x 19.6 cm.), Drawings, Philippe de Champaigne (French, Brussels 1602–1674 Paris), Although the inscription likely postdates the artist's lifetime, there is no reason to doubt that this sheet is a portrait drawn from life of Philippe de Champaigne's wife, Charlotte Duchesne, daughter of the painter Nicolas Duchesne, who had hired the young Flemish-born artist to assist in the decoration of the Luxembourg Palace for Marie de' Medici shortly after his arrival in Paris
