EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century engraving depicts the children of King Charles Philippe II, Count of Artois, and his wife Marie Clotilde of Savoy, later King Charles X of France and Queen of Sardinia respectively. The image, created by the renowned French engraver François Hubert Drouais in 1763, captures the innocence and charm of the royal offspring. In the foreground, a young girl, likely Marie Thérèse Charlotte, the eldest child, is shown dressed in a low-necked gown adorned with delicate floral patterns. Her expression is serene, her gaze fixed on an unseen point beyond the frame. The girl holds a sheep, its woolly head peeking out from behind her, adding a playful touch to the portrait. Beside her, a boy, possibly Louis Antoine, the second eldest, is depicted with a more animated expression. He wears a high collar and a simple tunic, his hands folded in his lap. The boy's gaze is directed towards his sister, creating a sense of connection between the two siblings. The engraving provides a glimpse into the private lives of the Bourbon royal family during the 1760s. The children's relaxed and natural poses, as well as their casual attire, contrast with the formal portraits of their parents, offering a more intimate and relatable portrayal of royalty. The image is a testament to the skill and artistry of François Hubert Drouais, who masterfully captured the essence of childhood in this charming depiction of the future monarchs of France and Sardinia.
