This image displays a vintage newspaper clipping, likely from The New York Times, mounted on a tan-colored archival folder or piece of cardstock. The clipping is dated Friday, June 24, 1977, as printed at the bottom.
The main feature is a large, oval-framed black-and-white reproduction of a portrait painting identified in the caption as:
Madame de Pompadour by François Boucher — one of more than 150 works at the Fogg through August in “Master Paintings from the Fogg Collection.”
The portrait shows a woman in 18th-century attire—a lace-trimmed gown with a delicate shawl or stole draped over her shoulders, tied with a bow at her throat. She is seated, holding a paintbrush, with a palette, art supplies, and possibly a sketchbook or easel visible beside her. Her hair is styled in an upswept coiffure typical of the period. The caption implies this is Madame de Pompadour, the famous mistress of King Louis XV and a prominent patron of the arts, depicted here as an artist herself—an interesting and somewhat romanticized portrayal.
To the left of the portrait, a smaller newspaper column clipping runs vertically, discussing an art auction at Montmore Tower (a Rothschild palace near London). It details a painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard titled “Psyche Showing Her Sisters the Presents She Has Received From Cupid” and mentions an art dealer, David Carritt, and Sotheby’s auction house. This article appears to be from the same publication and date.
In the upper right corner of the folder, handwritten annotations in pencil read:
1966.47
Harvard Gazette
June 3, 1977
This suggests the item may have been cataloged or referenced by a Harvard University archive or library, and the 1966.47 notation likely refers to an internal collection or accession number. The “Harvard Gazette” and June 3, 1977 date may be a misattribution or reference to another related item, as the newspaper clipping itself is clearly from The New York Times, June 24, 1977.
Overall, this is a preserved newspaper clipping from 1977 featuring a reproduction of François Boucher’s portrait of Madame de Pompadour, likely collected and archived by Harvard University, with added contextual information about art auctions and provenance.
This image appears to be a calendar page from June 3, 1977, as indicated by the handwritten note in the top right corner.

The portrait is displayed within a beige border, and the title "Calendar" is written in bold at the top.
Below the portrait, there is a clipping from "The New York Times" dated Friday, June 24, 1977, which discusses the discovery and authentication of a painting attributed to Jean-Honoré Fragonard.

The calendar page also has a label in the bottom left corner that reads "1966.47 Harvard Gazette," indicating that the page might be part of a collection or album related to Harvard Gazette publications from the year 1966.
