About the piece
Painted in 1787 by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, this portrait depicts Madame Adélaïde, the daughter of Louis XV. She is shown in the height of Ancien Régime fashion, wearing a sumptuous red velvet mantle over a gold-embroidered silk skirt. Standing beside a large oval relief showing the profiles of the Dauphin and his family, the work serves as a sophisticated statement of royal lineage and artistic refinement.
