EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning handcoloured lithograph, we behold the elegant and captivating figure of Louise Marie Adelaide de Bourbon, Duchess of Orleans (1753-1821). The Duchess, dressed in the height of 18th-century French fashion, is depicted against a richly textured background, with intricate gold detailing adorning the borders of the image. Born on October 27, 1753, in the Palace of Saint-Cloud, France, Louise Marie Adelaide de Bourbon was the daughter of Louis, Duke of Bourbon, and Marie Joséphine of Saxony. She married Philippe, Duke of Orleans, in 1771, becoming the Duchess of Orleans and the Orléans heiress. This exquisite portrait showcases the Duchess's refined beauty and impeccable style. Her voluminous, powdered hairstyle is adorned with delicate flowers and ribbons, while her gown, made of rich silk, is adorned with intricate floral patterns and a striking, bold color palette. The Duchess's expression is one of regal composure, reflecting her status as a member of the French nobility. The image is taken from the renowned collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix, published by the Administration de Librairie in Paris in 1852. The collection, which features over 1,200 handcoloured lithographs, is considered a seminal work in the study of historical costumes and fashion in France. This portrait of Louise Marie Adelaide de Bourbon, Duchess of Orleans, offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the French court during the 18th century, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical fashion or portraiture.
