François Clouet (Tours, 1510 - Paris, 1572). His oil panel, 92 x 81 cm, Diane de Poitiers in the bathThe postcard, dated 1571, is in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, USA. In it we can see in the foreground (not in the detail of the postcard) Diana, mistress of the King of France, Henry II, with whom she has had a child suckled by a wet nurse (detail of the postcard).
