Françoise Legendre, Madame de Souscarrière

According to the National Gallery online catalogue description, ‘The connections between the family of Mme de Souscarrière and the slave trade may also in part explain the presence of the young black page in the portrait’ (‘Mme de Souscarrière (?) and her Page’, <https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/nicolas-de-largillierre-and-studio-mme-de-souscarriere-and-her-page> accessed 5 August 2021.) This needs to be corroborated.

Sitter: Madame de Souscarrière is the subject of a portrait by Nicolas de Largillierre and his studio, Mme de Souscarrière (?) and her Page (NG3883), bought in 1924.
