Jean-François de Troy has works in the collection Musée des Beaux-Arts de la ville de Paris
De Troy’s tableaux de mode responded to the artistic preferences of a new clientele for art in France: successful bankers and financiers representing a new bourgeois class.  They also reflected the developing taste for a new sensuality, which was taken even further during the second half of the 17th century in the libertine philosophy and in texts such as Les Liaisons dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos and the  Philosophy in the Bedroom by Marquis de Sade.
