About the piece
Painted in 1788 by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, this grand portrait depicts Elisabeth of France, Duchess of Parma, standing on a balcony with her young son. The composition is rich with texture, from the heavy red velvet curtains to the shimmering silk of the child's dress and the vibrant plumage of the perched parrot.
