About the piece
Commissioned in 1844, this portrait by Franz Xaver Winterhalter captures Louise of Orléans, the first Queen of the Belgians. The work is celebrated for its luminous skin tones and the tactile richness of the Queen's crimson velvet gown, set against a dramatic, cloudy sky that adds a sense of romantic grandeur to the formal composition.
