Later impression of early 17th century engraving.
Louise de La Valliere (Francoise Louise de La Baume Le Blanc) (1644 - 1710) was a mistress of Louis XIV of France from 1661 to 1667. She later became the Duchess of La Valliere and Duchess of Vaujours in her own right.
The term lavallere (lavalier), the name for a jeweled pendant necklace, comes from her name.
