ca. 1685 Louise-Françoise de Bourbon, Duchess of Bourbon by Nicolas de Larmessin the Elder (Château de Sceaux - Sceaux, Hauts-de-Seine France)

From Wikimedia; sepia tone removed and image enlarged by half by gogm.

Duchess Louise wears a dress with a laced bodice, revers without a stomacher, and a lace chemise beneath. Her corset probably fills in the gap immediately beneath the laces of her bodice.
