Mme Fouquet's Sitting Room, originally a sitting room for Marie-Madeleine de Castille, then turned into a guest room in 1705, at the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, designed by Louis Le Vau, 1612-70, and built 1658-61 for marquis Nicolas Fouquet, in Maincy, Seine-et-Marne, France. The room is furnished with a 17th century day bed in blue fabric, a Louis XIV style footstool, a tortoiseshell veneered red cabinet with bone and ebony inlay by Pierre Gole, 1620-84, with 3 potiches and 2 vases in porcelain dating to the 18th century, and a 'doll's head' clock made c. 1650 by Balthazar Martinot. The painting is The Annuncation to Manoah of the Birth of Samson to his Wife by Charles Le Brun, 1619-90. The chateau is built in Baroque style, with decoration by Charles Le Brun, 1619-90, and grounds designed by landscape architect Andre le Notre, 1613-1700. The chateau is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
